snip: <What we don't have enough of in the US are places for art like the New York Botanical Gardens (where Eric tills the soil). I maintain people are as interested in the artist's studio (garden) as in the art produced.> Worthy of note in this regard is Artspace in Raleigh, NC, which consists of a gallery and a collection of visible artist's studio spaces.
