Shoals Culture

This is a collection of web sites dedicated to exploration of the emerging arts colony on the Tennessee River. Perfect for artist's relocation, retirement, or retreat!

The availability of inexpensive studio and rehearsal property, luscious landscape, mild climate and historical music significance has spawned an influx of artists, photographers, writers, musicians, film makers, actors and fashion designers.


The quad city area known as "The Shoals" includes Muscle Shoals, Sheffield, Tuscumbia and Florence, Alabama. Collectively this community is truly an eclectic, creative, culturally rich and amazing place to visit or call home!
