I will second the DC metro. Museums to glory, local galleries, walkable and mass transit, the Corcoran Art school at GWU I think. Moderate weather, decent mass transit, but a bit pricey. I get the feeling that the arts people there are a relatively tight group, prolly ‘cause they gotta be a counterweight to the big government/nonprofit/legal crowd. It’s worth a looksee.
