Nice, artistically oriented southern cities aside from Atlanta and New Orleans? (employment, university)

Atlanta isn't an option for reasons that I don't want to get into, and although New Orleans is the top choice, it's not good for a person to put all of their eggs in one basket. I'm asking this question for my younger brother, whose a recent architecture graduate who also paints and writes. He's newly married and is trying to choose a place to live for him and his wife. He'd prefer to move to the west coast, but his wife's parents live in Atlanta so he is trying to compromise with her by choosing a city down south.
Aside from that, the criteria for the city is that it's somewhat substantial in size, isn't centered on one industry or complex (like a college town) and is preferably older, with an attractive and interesting built environment.
What does "all of your eggs in one basket" mean if NO is the top choice?
Regarding size, there's not many other cities that quality outside if maybe Louisville and Richmond.
Of "substantial" size I am thinking Richmond, Louisville, St Petersburg (FL) jump out. Charleston and Asheville if you can go a bit smaller. Even smaller still then Savannah.

I'm assuming because he'll be seeking gainful employment as an architect then it will be nice to have several options as he applies for jobs.
