What are the best cities for hippie/counter culture? Where can you sell street art?

I'm currently living in an intentional community (check ic.org if curious). I have a several months until I become a full fledged "member." I feel the travel bug calling though. When I become a member, I'm probably going to vagabond around for a bit. What are the best cities in the U.S. to bum about in. Best counter culture and hippie scene, as such. I'm also a charcoal/street artist and wonder what the best places to sell my wears street side are? The kinda place where I don't need a vendors license and the community would be receptive to this kind of thing. Even a good list of hippie festivals would be nice. I know about Rainbow Gathering, but thats about it. Checked at digihitch.com, but no real responses. Thanks for any help!

1. Damn i thought i was one of the last hippies . I think we are about extincted in the U.S . I haven't heard of a hippie festival in 25 30 years or so . Where are you from ? You must have been watching those old movies from the late 60s and 70s . The latest fad is gang bangers and they have there own territory's and wouldn't hesitate to take you out if you move in on there territory and yes like dogs they mark there territory's and that's the only so called art that you see but its not art its marking there territory
2. Eugene in Oregon??
3. Watts or Compton.
