The Tribeca Open Artists Studio Tour offers a rare opportunity to visit the lofts and studios of working artists.  Last year, we visited the loft of a painter who, upon learning that we lived at the Chelsea, confided in us that the Chelsea Hotel was where she had carried on a love affair for many years.  The year before, we met an interesting artist who never left his studio after 9/11.  He hid under his bed when they came to ask residents to leave because he was afraid that his landlord would take control of his rent-stablized studio if he left. C.J. Collins, whose work is pictured on the left, always has an interesting display, plus wine and snacks.
