This Saturday the New Yorker crowd is hosting their annual Passport to the Arts event, which consists of a self-guided tour of Chelsea galleries, an evening cocktail party, and a silent auction benefiting the CUE Art Foundation. $49 gets you into the cocktail party, plus a specially-designed New Yorker "passport." What's cool about the passport is that at each gallery on the self-guided tour, you get it stamped with a replica of a featured work of art by a different artist. Some of the designs are quite beautiful.

Remember that piece of art on the sidewalk outside of the New Museum earlier this month?

It was a piece by Stephen Cavanagh, who began painting while working in David Bouley's bakery, only now to find himself in that familiar predicament of being an artist who hates the art world. He recently had 20 free ideas for Damien Hirst (the king of that kingdom of overpriced hype), and told us "my aim is simple: to make art public."
