2019 HBM at NCCCIAP, Sloss Furnaces, ALBrought to you by “Lifetime Guarantee” Artists Kristen Tordella-Williams and Jenny Hillenbrand
“We invite you to bring any handheld, tradeable items to barter with fellow participants! Bring some small pieces of art, tools, raw materials, or swag, you can also get creative with an “IOU” ie. help with yard work or cooking a meal. The purpose of this event is to bring artists of all backgrounds and career stages together equally to have a go at self-promotion, negotiation, valuing goods, networking, and taking chances! Most importantly we want to have fun! One folk's patch is another folk's treasure. Come one, come all, come barter!”
The event includes megaphones and sound. Earplugs are available.
Limited seating. Free and open to all ages.
