The Town of Clayton recently had a presentation about the incentives Paducah has given to create a city for artists. Visit this link for a 7 minute video about Paducah

My GOD people! Have you EVER been to Paducah?
Living there would allow you all sorts of time to work because there's nothing else to do except go to church.
Apparently they are trying to change that, Mary.... Do you know Paducah?
Today, my brother Bob suggested that all of our siblings move there....
Oh yes, I know Paducah - my mom's family is from that side of the state. It's a lovely place to visit and you can find amazing arts and crafts there. Kentucky is a beautiful state and I enjoyed growing up there. But hum. . . Your brother in NYC suggested moving there? It's got a population of about 27,000. It's in the middle of the square formed by St. Louis, Louisville, Memphis and Nashville. That puts it in the middle of nowhere. Although there's lots of water sporty things to do. And you can go hunting.
Those are pretty cool places in every direction....
there has to be something right about a place that is working that hard to get artists to come and stay, to help them have an easier life to enable artmaking.
I am living proof that things can happen by moving to the middle of nowhere and having no distractions from your work. (I will not mention that I would have slit my wrists a long time ago if I did not get away from time to time.....)
