The TriBeCa Open Artist Studio Tour is a free, self-guided tour of approximately 100 artists’ studios throughout TriBeCa. Bringing artists and the public together, it provides an opportunity for visitors to interact with the artists and see their artwork at the source, the artist’s own studio. An artist-run organization, TOAST has led a true metropolitan “grass roots” path. It began as an ad-hoc group of artists who wanted to revive a neighborhood art walk. Now a not-for-profit organization, it is still a grass roots effort, run by the participating artists. Neighborhood businesses and supporters supplement most of the needed funds not covered by the artists’ entry fees.

Sunday is supposed to be great weather and would be the time to explore New York’s several spring street festivals. You should be able to find one close to where you live and keep travel time to a minimum. 
You can get a better education for free in New York than paying thousands of dollars a year in other places. New York Entrepreneur Week is just one way to do that. Starting this morning at 8 am and going until Friday evening, differnent businesses and instittions will be hosting panels and speakers addressing pressing concerns and issues for entrepreneurs. The list of speakers is so comprehensive that just reading their bios on the website is an education in and of itself. Each one has been successful in starting one or more businesses and nearly all of them have attended top tier educational institutions. Dumbfoundingly enough, nearly every single event is absolutely free. Although this seems to have had somewhat of a negative effect, seeing as how everyone RSVPs and then may or may not show up, it certainly is helpful if you are out of work and looking to save some money.
