The relationship between creativity and territory has become a research study 
that draws the attention of various social science disciplines. Currently literature 
on the subject tend to pay attention only to hard or soft factors of the cities or 
the importance of cultural cluster to explain the impact of place in creativity 
processes in art, creative industries and knowledge firms. However this kind of 
studies giving little attention to social dimension of the phenomenon and the 
different scales of place. With the help of theoretical tool of the sociology, 
especially the concept of interaction ritual and frame, the main aim of this paper 
is to analyze the impact of place in cultural creative processes in visual arts 
from a sociological point of view. For this purpose, I analyze the impact of place 
(at micro, meso and macro scale) in artistic creativity processes of visual artists 
of Poblenou District in Barcelona city. This paper argues that place has a 
specific function in creative processes: model and guide the creativity.
