Hello, I am an artist and I'm moving to Chicago this summer and although I have been several times, I want to know what the artsy neighborhoods are. I want to live somewhere inspiring. Can anyone hit me up with some info?

Artists tend to not have much money, so they flock to places with cheaper rent. Logan Square and Pilsen house a lot of artists, though its hard to say how "inspired" you'd be by these areas.

Wouldn't it be more inspiring to live away from other artists, to gather a unique set of experiences?

Definitely need more info, but all the neighborhoods listed here would be good places to begin your research!

that's not really how most people who self-identify as artsy roll.

I didn't exactly say I wanted to live near other artist, I want to live somewhere that's just simply artsy. I guess it's hard to explain. Thanks for the tips! I have an idea of where to start
