**Pay attention to the descriptions to see what to bring with you**
https://www.facebook.com/events/1528116010759659"In conjunction with the Brooklyn Museum's exhibition, Crossing Brooklyn: Art from Bushwick, Bed-Stuy, and Beyond, artist Heather Hart creates an interactive installation where you’re invited to bring songs, ideas, goods, services, or handmade art to trade with fellow participants. No currency accepted, so bring something to trade and get ready to barter."
"Reflecting the rich creative diversity of Brooklyn, Crossing Brooklyn presents work by thirty-five Brooklyn-based artists or collectives. The exhibition and related programming take place in the galleries and on the grounds of the Museum, as well as off-site in the streets, waterways, and other public spaces of the borough."
Whether you want face painting, performance, a film, sporting competition, a raffle, some art, costume making, massage therapy, palm reading, lessons, clothing, a nail salon, vouchers for services, promises, people’s court or anything else, Barter Town is the place to find it and swap for what you have to give! The Heather Hart Experience presents Barter Town (Trading Post XIII: The People's Economy), the newest cycle to Hart’s Trading Post at the Brooklyn Museum! Dress up post-apocalyptic... claim your space!! Bring your goods, ideas, valuables and creativity and go home with something more!!
Barter Town will have the appearance of an indoor swap meet or carnival, but remember, all “booths” run on bartering only- no currency allowed (no I-owe-yous for money, although drawing an I-owe-you for a service is great)and no cash tips!
