This is according to Southern Methodist University. Nashville ranks just behind Washington DC and just ahead of NYC. Here's what the report says about Nashville:

Nashville-Davidson-Murfreesboro-Franklin, TN has long been known for its expansive music scene, but the emergence of world-class visual arts and performing arts options has put Nashville – Music City – on the map as an artistic and culturally rich destination. Nashville claims to be the largest songwriter community in the world, with a strong presence of Americana-focused artisans and artists. There is robust public support for the arts at the local level, and individual philanthropists have helped propel some of the larger cultural institutions in the last decade. To attract and nurture emerging artists in all genres, Nashville leaders recently pooled funds to create Periscope, a six week artist boot camp that provides artists with pre-IPO startup training. The Frist Center for the Visual Arts is the anchor for the city’s rapidly expanding visual arts scene. The Tennessee Performing Arts Center and the Schermerhorn Symphony Center are main performing arts venues. Nashville is in the top 10% of all cities on every measure, and it is ranked #1 in the country on Arts Providers.

Don, you would have to recognize those under their It-City classifications, "artisan wood fashioning" and "upcycled outbuilding reclamation."

Ah, yes. Like "small batch artisanal whiskey" instead of " 'shine".

How able are people to make careers out of non-traditional (i.e. not business or health or IT related) creative or cultural interests around Nashville? Would a history graduate be able to eke out a full-time living in the area, for instance?

I wonder the same thing about basically every city with a thriving arts community, especially being that Nashville is traditionally a lot cheaper than those places.
