Geography of the arts?
editWhat's the name for field of geography that focuses on the geographic distribution of various works of arts (visual and performing arts, written works, and other such works of humanities) and the study of their development?
Shouldn't there be some mention of this? Currently, neither geography nor relevant subfields (human, cultural, social) mention the word "art" anywhere. ~2026-17579-21 (talk) 19:11, 20 March 2026 (UTC)
- Never heard of such a field. If there is literature on it, it should be included. Strebe (talk) 21:00, 20 March 2026 (UTC)
- I came across this a bit when I was making the page for Geopoetics. We could probably make a page for Art geography, it could be something I might try to tackle but is really outside my range of expertise. Here are a few citations if anyone wants to incorporate it into this article:
