I think there is a counterpoint to that - in that there are a lot of artistic communities that spring up in unexpected (often rural) areas.
I think the issue really is critical mass - Access to the city is great, but I think what is required most of all is access to like-minded people. If you get enough of that going, then the rest will (generally) come.
