(Travel + Leisureexternal link) -- Ever on the lookout for more space, urban artists and art dealers pioneer the SoHos of tomorrow. Here, five of our favorites plus a sampling of cutting-edge galleries.

ATLANTA

Castleberry Hill

In the 1990s, artists started to renovate the area's postbellum warehouses; two years ago, the venerable Marcia Wood Gallery moved in next door to the two-year-old Ty Stokes Gallery. www.castleberryhill.netexternal link.

Marcia Wood Gallery, 263 Walker St. SW; 404/827-0030

Ty Stokes Gallery, 261 Walker St. SW; 404/222-9863

Romo Gallery, 309 Peters St. SW; 404/222-9955

BOSTON

South End

Contemporary galleries -- Bernard Toale and Samson Projects among them -- are filling a converted warehouse in the city's South End, a (relatively) low-rent haven for artists.

Bernard Toale Gallery, 450 Harrison Ave.; 617/482-2477

Samson Projects, 450 Harrison Ave.; 617/357-7177

Allston Skirt Gallery, 65 Thayer St.; 617/482-3652

DENVER

Santa Fe Drive

Community groups long sought to lure reputable artists to the area between Fifth and 10th Avenues. Today, the crowds on First Friday Art Walks are a testament to their success. www.artdistrictonsantafe.comexternal link.
