When a young Brooklyn couple fell in love with a country
house and bought it last May, they couldn’t bear to have it
sit idle while they worked in New York City during the week.
So they invited artists to live and work in their white
farmhouse in Chatham, N.Y., for a month at a time for
free. Now painters, sculptors and performers come to mix
colors, hammer and rehearse. When the owners drive up
on weekends, they share spaghetti dinners, wine and board
games.
