I don't know what's happening in High School these days... I haven't been in high school for almost 20 years... I will ask around.
With regards to the art question... the more urban you get the more "artsy" you will find it... by this I mean you can find thriving artist communities (much like you would in LA, San Fran, LA, etc.
There are also alot of rural areas with great artist communities (some are artisans and some are craftspeople). In the hills around my cottage, near the small towns of Killaloe and Wilno (in the Ottawa Valley) there is a thriving community where you can find a number of galleries and studios with everything from photography and paintings to sculpture, glasswork and pottery.
Cheap rural housing can let artists live a good life off their work.
