Windows to the soul If you’re planning on hitting the trail for the final weekend of the Open Studios Art Tour [see Scene, page 27], be sure to get properly warmed up before heading out. Stretch your arts muscles by taking in the Window Art Project that the Chico Arts Commission put together, featuring window-art displays in more than 50 local storefronts. There are guides available online at www.artoberfest.net as well as at participating businesses, but you hardly need one. Arts DEVO just walked downtown early one morning, grabbed some coffee from the Naked Lounge, and window-shopped for original, local art. In the two-square-block area framed by First, Third, Broadway and Wall streets, there were 30 Window Art displays:
