Peachtree between 15th and the Connector:
Woodruff Arts Center
SCAD School of Sculpture
SCAD Spring House
High Museum of Art
SCAD Main Campus

Having said that, I think that Houston takes the cake here.

Downtown Dallas' Arts District is the winner imo. It's beautiful. I was quite impressed. Houston's is surprisingly good too but I was really impressed with the Dallas Arts District.
