“The Art of Economic Development,” as it is called, looks at five arts-driven economies in Texas. Austin’s many music festivals, Houston’s thriving theater scene and the Dallas Arts District are not among them. Instead, to provide models that any locality can follow no matter its size, the report features more unlikely communities like Amarillo, El Paso, Rockport, Texarkana and a tiny town in Bosque County in north central Texas that Barbee said might be Menard’s best model: Clifton, population 3,795.
