Doesn't mean that there aren't some, though. There are more than 5 million people living in the metro area.
Sorry Crawford - I was being sarcastic. I think artists still flock to the classical centers of creativity. My wife is an exhibiting artist and knows the areas of activity very well. Every big city has an active art community, but to make it "big time" many feel that you have to go to one of the really active centers. While NYC and Paris are seen as places to "go to" - they are expensive and often perceived as too established for those who want to be at the"cutting edge." Berlin is seen by many artists as the "hot" place to go now - where it is "happening." But it is clear that for established artists, NYC, Paris, London still are the centers for art.
