Providence seen as a top arts destination

Readers of a national magazine consider Providence one of the top 25 arts destinations in its mid-sized cities category.

In the June issue of AmericanStyle, Providence has slipped a tad in the ranking, to 19 from last year’s spot of 18.

Mayor David N. Cicilline reports in a press release that the magazine’s publisher, Wendy Rosen, said in a letter to Cicilline that “the arts in your city continue to draw the support and appreciation of both natives and visitors alike.”

Buffalo, N.Y., tops the list for cities with populations of 100,000 to 499,000, the category for Providence. In the magazine’s other categories, New York City tops the big cities and Santa Fe, N.M., tops the small cities.

According to the magazine’s Web site, AmericanStyle is available at large retail bookstores and newsstands.

Providence also makes the cut in another magazine’s listing, but it has slipped on that ranking as well.

The annual Forbes list of best places to do business and have careers ranks Providence 46. According to Journal archives, Providence landed at No. 37 on that list last year.
