We think the arts and entertainment are an important part of an active retirement, and we look for communities that support both. Beginning in July we'll begin to load this part of the site.

But our ideas about what constitutes the arts, and what makes for the best entertainment may not be the same as yours. Won’t you please help us? Email your thoughts about what you look for in an active arts community and the kind of entertainment you want.

Here’s what we’re pretty sure will be some of the categories.

• Clubs & Coffeehouses
• Concert Venues
• Dance Performances
• Film (commercial movies, art flicks, and foreign films)
• Live Theater
• Art Museums
• Art Galleries
• Music

That’s a start, but they are broad categories. Please help us flesh them out, and don’t be afraid to suggest areas we haven’t thought of. Just email us at info@activeretirementplaces.com with your comments and ideas.
