How about this: rural Minnesota is coping with economic challenges and a declining population by reinventing themselves... not with industry but with art!
I find this publication Bright Stars: Charting the Impact of the Arts in Rural Minnesota (www.mcknight.org/brightstars) extremely inspiring.
This report shows how even the smallest of communities can reinvent themselves through art. The arts act as communication, economic drivers, and significant (they even call them vital) links to other small communities, their State, the nation and the rest of the world.
This is a perfect pick-me-up when things are looking dour. A solid alternative to chicken soup for the sickened art soul.
