The Reinvention of Clifton Forge

"Small art towns have come to epitomize rural cultural coolness because who wouldn’t want to visit a lively, open-minded town? A small art town is the type of community people love visiting on a weekend getaway… the sort of place urbanites move to after selling their condo… the sort of place where people can find a true sense of community. "
