Many folks plan vacations around foodie destinations, landmarks, or natural wonders. I’m all for that.
But sometimes I like to plan cultural vacations where I’m immersed in a town’s art scene. I’m a museum addict and art lover of the highest order. I could easily wile away many days on cultural endeavors.
If like me, you’re the kind of traveler that builds your perception of a place through its art scene, this guide’s for you. I take you on a tour of the best art towns on the East Coast. These arty towns have amazing museums, art galleries, performing art venues, poetry slams, and festivals on the East Coast.
These off the beaten path destinations will astound you with their cultural offerings and natural beauty. You can string them together in one long road trip, pick several towns to fashion a week long regional itinerary, or pick one special spot for a weekend getaway.
Let’s take a virtual road trip down the east coast of the United States, visiting the best art towns from north to south. I also give you handpicked tips on where to stay and what to eat. Many of these artsy towns are also amazing foodie destinations, with innovative farm to table restaurants.
The Best East Coast Towns For Art and Culture
Here are my picks for the best places on the East Coast for art lovers.
1. Portland Maine
Located on a peninsula jutting into Casco Bay, Portland is a rare metropolis in a state filled with small towns. There are so many cultural offerings.
Art-rich Portland is bastion of historical preservation. The Old Port is a warren of cobbled streets, filled with vibrant Victorian buildings and buzzing farm to table eateries.
Downtown, there’s a thriving art school, infusing the city streets with creative types. There are 24 commercial art galleries. Restaurants and coffee bars are filled with visual art. In June, the revived downtown hosts the Old Port estival, described as “part freak show, part art festival, part fashion parade.”
Opened in 19843, Portland’s crown jewel and premiere destination is the Portland Museum of Art, an architectural masterpiece designed by I.M. Pei of Louvre fame. Its innovative architecture allowed curators to redefine the art viewing experience.
The museum has an impressive collection of late 19th and early 20th century art, including works by Andrew Wyeth, John Singer Sargent, Winslow Homer, and Marsden Hartley. It also hosts traveling international exhibits.
Merrill Auditorium is the site of Portland’s performing arts scene. It’s an elegant restored concert hall, which houses the world famous Kotzschmar Memorial Organ.
The venue hosts concerts by the Portland Symphony Orchestra, touring national theater companies, dance companies, and music acts. The Portland Opera Repertory also uses Merrill for full scale productions.
Here’s my 1 day itinerary for Portland.
Where to stay: Inn by the Sea, Black Point Inn, Chebeague Island Inn, Inn on Carlton, Pomegranate Inn
Where to eat: The Honey Paw, Union at the Press Hotel, Solo Italiano, Woodford Food and Beverage
2. Glover Vermont
Just a couple hours from Montreal lies the art town of Glover in Vermont. This offbeat rural farm town is a truly unique venue.
Glover Residents have elevated ordinary objects from everyday life to artistic artifacts. You can see them on display in the Museum of Everyday Life, a cabinet of curiosities housed in a renovated barn.
This “common as dirt” museum celebrates the glory of normalcy. It’s a bit of a tongue in cheek statement about the sometimes huffy nature of museum culture.
You can also take in a performance of large scale puppets at The Bread and Puppet Theater. This theater embraces “cheap art” and attempts to bring folk motifs and politics back into the arts. There are shows very Friday in the summer. When the puppets need to be retired, they go to the Puppet Museum, an innovative transformed barn.
Where to stay: Highland Lodge (in nearby Greensboro)
Where to eat: The Parker Pie Company
3. Burlington Vermont
In Vermont, there’s a saying that “you can’t throw a stone without hitting a poet/painter/potter.” As the largest town in a state of small hamlets, Burlington has developed a self contained East Coast art scene that’s the envy of many.
To some, Burlington is akin to a mini Seattle. It’s a politically and socially progressive enclave of college students, regional power brokers, and creative minds.
The jewel of Burlington’s art scene is the Fleming Museum on the University of Vermont campus. The museums has a wide range of artworks and artists. In June, you can attend the Arts Alive Festival. The Firehouse Center for the Arts also hosts year round exhibitions and art programs.
If you want to see a show, head to the Flynn Performing Arts Center. It’s a fully restored art deco masterpiece. The Fynn hosts concerts, plays, and traveling Broadway shows.
If you want something offbeat to do, head to the edge of town. You’ll find one of the world’s tallest filing cabinets created by local artist Bren Alvarez.
Within a mile or so, you can also visit Ted Bundy’s birthplace, the Burlington Earth Clock, and the Lake Champlain Monster Monument.
If you’re a foodie, Burlington will suit. It outshines much of the US with a bounty of locally grown food. Farm to table eating is a well established tradition. There’s even excellent street food at Farmers and Foragers Food Truck.
Where to stay: Willard Street Inn
Where to eat: Bleu Northeast Seafood, Hen of the Wood, Juniper
4. Brattleboro VT
Brattleboro is a gorgeous and artsy town on the East Coast. It’s New England’s most supportive art centric enclave. Artists settled in Brattleboro to escape the high rents of New England’s major cities, while still remaining close.
Brattleboro’s downtown has been revitalized. It’s now full of art galleries, upper story artist studios, and a broad array of art events. The Brattleboro Art Museum in housed in a restored railroad depot. It presents 8 exhibitions annually.

New Hampshire is such a beautiful state. You might think it’s all mountains and lakes. But it has a rich cultural history. Manchester in particular has some fine art offerings. It’s home to the state’s only fine art college, the New Hampshire Institute of Art.
Brattleboro is home to an internationally acclaimed museum, the Currier Museum of Art. The museum’s permanent collection includes works by Picasso, Monet, Rothko, Wyeth, and O’Keefe. It hosts touring exhibitions.

On display you’ll find a diverse mix of traditional and modern art forms, from photography to installation art.

6. Hanover NH
My son and I both attended Dartmouth College. So naturally, I’m partial to Hanover (and all things New England, truth be told). For a tiny town, Hanover packs a surprising art punch. It’s accessible too, easily reached from Boston or Concord.
The best place to get your art fix is the wonderful Hood Museum of Art. It’s one of the oldest teaching museums in the country. It has a large collection of artifacts and art dating back to Assyrian culture in 900 BC.
But it’s not all ancient. The museum has a surprisingly good collection of contemporary art, with works by Rothko and Ed Ruscha. It also showcases contemporary African and Native American art.
Hanover is also home to the Hopkins Center for Performing Arts (the “HOP”). There, you’ll find a wide variety of performing arts — plays, shows, concerts, special events, movies, etc.
Here’s my one day in Hanover itinerary.
Where to stay: Hanover Inn, Sixth South Street Hotel
Where to eat: The Pine at the Hanover Inn, Lou’s Restaurant & Bakery
7. Nantucket Massachusetts
Just 30 miles off the new England coast lies the idyllic small town of Nantucket. Nantucket is a place where you can simultaneously hit the beach and be visually stimulated.
In summer months, artsy Nantucket can be a pricey version of paradise. Of course, the beaches are stunning. But the historic center is also adorable with cobbled streets, historic residences, quaint shops, and innovative eateries.
More than a dozen art galleries are sprinkled around the downtown. On Union Street, an international roster of artists have contemporary works on display at the Art Cabinet. Perhaps the top notch gallery is the Artists’ Association of Nantucket (AAN). It features rotating art exhibitions by local, regional, and national artists.
If you’d like to attend a poetry reading or lecture, hit up the Nantucket Atheneum. You can listen to authors, historians, and university professors. In June, there’s the Nantucket Film Festival, where 30 independent films are screened at different venues.
Where to stay: Brant Point Inn, Roberts House Inn
Where to eat: The Proprietors Bar & Table, Oran Mor, Greyson House, Dune
8. Stockbridge Massachusetts
Stockbridge is blessed with a very good line up of East Coast cultural attractions. Four of the greatest American artists and authors called Stockbridge their home — Edna St. Vincent Millay, Edith Wharton, Herman Melville, and Norman Rockwell. What a heritage! Even better, their homes are now museums.
One of America’s greatest treasures is the Norman Rockwell Museum. Rockwell was one of the greatest artists and illustrators in American history. Stockbridge was Rockwell’s long time residence and what he called his “best studio yet.”
His titular museum is home to a year round series of rotating exhibitions of Rockwell’s art and Saturday Evening Post magazine covers. There are 570 Rockwell illustrations, including the famous Triple Self Portrait and Going and Coming. A permanent exhibit is the quartet called the Four Freedoms, which will seem comfortingly familiar. The most famous of these gems is Freedom From Wont, depicting a family gathering at Thanksgiving.
Apart from visual arts, the Berkshire Theater Group provides performing arts entertainment. The IS 183 Gallery has a stash of regional and national art works. Every summer, Stockbridge hosts the Tanglewood Music Festival, a series of concerts across all musical disciplines (online in 2020).
Here’s my guide to the top attractions in the Berkshires.

North Adams’ downtown is filled with art galleries, artists studios, and cute shops. Its pride and joy is Porches Inn, an eye catching row of distinctive multi-colored Victorians.
After meandering the downtown, head straight to the utterly fabulous Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art (“MASS MoCA”).

Just two hours south of Boston lies the tony coastal town of Newport. Founded in 1639, Newport is a treasure trove of historic European-style mansions set against ocean views.
Think the Gilded Age’s Astors, Vanderbilts, and Kennedys — families who built the first palatial mansions in the US. Most of the mansions are on Bellevue Avenue and a few on the waterfront. Built by Cornelius Vanderbilt, Breakers Mansion is Rhode Island’s #1 attraction. It’s located on the scenic Newport Cliff Walk.

No East Coast road trip would be complete without a stop in Providence. Providence combines big city sophistication with small town charm, vibrant culture with hot restaurants. Plus, it’s a super easy day trip from Boston.
Providence was founded by Roger Williams – a rebel creative thinker who dared to defy the rules and define his destiny. 400 years later, Providence maintains this ethos with a thriving arts community. It’s a town of innovative writers, painters, musicians, sculptors, dancers, architects, and fashion designers.
The Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) is a mandatory stop in Providence. Its acclaimed museum houses everything from ancient artifacts to contemporary works by notable masters of the art world.

14. Woodstock New York
Tucked into a bucolic setting in the Catskills Mountains, Woodstock is known as America’s Colony of the Arts. It’s an outpost of the American Arts & Crafts Movement, one of my favorite design styles. And a Shangri-la for New York weekenders escaping the bustle of the big city.
There’s so much to do! Woodstock Guild operates Byrdcliffe Arts Colony (in conjunction with Cornell), the Kleinert/James Art Center, the Fleur de Lis Gallery, the Byrdcliffe Barn, and the Byrdcliffe Theater. The art center houses traveling exhibitions, while the gallery focuses on fine crafts.

Corning is the base of Corning, Inc., a corporation that’s one of the leading developers of glass technology. Long before glass artist Dale Chihuly rose to prominence in the Pacific Northwest, the Corning region was known for its glass artist.
Corning’s iconic art spot is the Corning Museum of Glass. It’s a hodgepodge of collecting, exhibition, and education. The museum boasts the nation’s largest collection of glass art.
It has fine examples of both historic and contemporary glass art. And a stunning cotton candy pink Dale Chihuly glass piece in the atrium, one of Chihuly’s first forays into creating chandeliers.

16. Mill Run Pennsylvania | Laurel Highlands
Mill Run is where you’ll find perhaps the most famous home in the United States, Frank Lloyd Wright’s remarkable Fallingwater. Fallingwater is nestled in a bucolic setting, atop a cascading waterfall. It’s the apotheosis of Wright’s long lasting obsession with nature and a must see architectural site in the US.
Fallingwater is likely the most significant building of the 20th century. Fallingwater is eye-grabbing and visually stunning. It’s a marriage of modern architecture and a wild landscape that blurs the line between the indoor and outdoor.
Wright brilliantly sited Fallingwater on top of the waterfall and anchored it to a boulder, so it would emerge “like a plant from the earth.” From any room in the house, you can hear the falling water.
On July 7, 2019, the UNESCO World Heritage Committee officially inscribed The 20th Century Architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright, to its UNESCO World Heritage List. The designation includes Fallingwater and seven other Frank Lloyd Wright sites.
