This is just a fun question.

I've been on a kick recently of reading books/watching movies about Paris and it's various bohemias, then I watched something on New York and its different scenes throughout the years, and it made me wonder: where is bohemia headquartered in the 21st century?

Remember in the 1990s when news media did a bunch of stories on how artsy youth were gathering in Prague and it was supposed to be the new Left Bank?

I suspect the art scene, whatever that is, is simply too decentralized in this wired up age, but it's still a fun question to ask. So where is the cutting edge art, where is culture being made, what is the new vie boheme and where are they living it?

Aaaaaand ... go!

In the U.S., it's probably Portland, Oregon.

Not sure about the rest of the world...

I'm presuming you're looking for cities in the world with an artistic bent that also have relatively cheap studio space. In Europe: Prague, Liverpool, Barcelona, Krakow and Budapest. In the West: Columbus, Savannah, Charleston, S.C., Santa Fe/Taos, N.M., Austin, Montreal, Omaha, Buenos Aires---probably missed a few.

Berlin is probably the best candidate right now. Cheap rent, great public transportation, very forgiving society, a city that's still in the midst of rebuilding.
