What Paducah’s Artist Relocation Program has done since 2001 is an idea pondered aloud by forward thinking artists everywhere: a self-sufficient, creative neighborhood designed for artists, by artists. The concept seems simple enough, but long-lasting, economically viable manifestations of this idea are few and far between. Success stories are rare, but Paducah’s Artist Relocation Program is thriving.
Why Paducah? There is one significant difference: The City of Paducah and Paducah Bank have made this project a front burner priority. The Program, still welcoming artists and arts related businesses, has transformed a down-and-out area of town into an up-and-coming, city supported arts and gallery district. Paducah’s Artist Relocation Program has brought in over 70 artists to date, is nationally recognized for using the arts for neighborhood revitalization and is fast becoming a national cultural destination.
