SPRINGERBRIEFS IN SOCIOLOGY ARTISTIC ENCLAVES...

This SpringerBriefs presents a case study and theoretical analysis of an artistic enclave that
emerged within Lawrenceville Pittsburgh. It briefly describes the history of greater Pittsburgh
and Lawrenceville's transition from thriving blue-collar community to depopulated low-income
neighborhood to gentrifying site of artistic and creative culture. It draws on multiple methods
(e.g.  interviews  observations  and survey data) to discuss the advantages and disadvantages
associated with being a Pittsburgh artist  and offer a detailed description of the origins and
ongoing development of Lawrenceville's artistic enclave. It discusses this enclave in the
context of sociological  historical  and interdisciplinary work on urban artistic communities
(i.e.  bohemian and quasi-bohemian communities)  and situates it within the larger urban
artistic tradition  and within its contemporary urban context. It maintains that this enclave
constitutes a successful (i.e.  sustainable) example of an artistic creative class enclave  a
heuristic concept that clarifies and amends Richard Florida's brief commentary on contemporary
urban artistic life. It concludes by offering policy suggestions for those who wish to promote
such enclaves  and a preliminary critical appraisal of their potential impact on society.
