You have lots of inspiring stories about yourself and other people finding art or performances or community or small businesses full of personality in your local area. Your anecdote has me remembering that it's helpful to have clients start their exploration in their own backyards, since naturally there are fewer obstacles. The enthusiasm they kindle will help them overcome the obstacles to exploring further from home.

Stood in a line (in freezing November) for hours in London to get into an exhibit. Once inside, a painting caught my eye and as I walked up closer to see it saw a sign saying, "On loan from the Santa Barbara Museum of Art." All the years I lived in SB, I'd never seen it. A few months later when I was in Santa Barbara, I made a pilgrimage to see it "in situ".

Imagine how much Monet's inspiration radiated out to others! I have a print by Monet of his garden and a print by Renoir of Monet painting in his garden.
