so because there is nothing in this about going around selection criterion (that is around the prerogatives of private property ownership), i do not see your point.

my point is simple. If you say,"sure cynthetiq, (based on all the previous interactions we've had) go ahead and stand on my lawn and shout out what you like."
and I start shouting out things... somethings you are fine with.. soon other neighbors gather and say,"Hey what he's shouting is wrong and unacceptable."
You may find that uncomfortable to you, because you have to live next to your neighbors and I do not.

The manager has a business to run, that's first and foremost to the Chelsea Market, while I've not seen that particular space, I have seen many of the others. While it's not a perfect world where there could just be space for artists, they have to live with what they make. My mother in law is an artist and struggles on a daily basis to balance making money and her "art". She chooses her art, and good on her for her choice, but when it comes to some things, she has to live with the choices she made, such as housing, computer, etc.
