A group of artists set up a barter system for their art. “The exact service or good that these artists require — for example, dental work, other medical services or studio space — will be on a label next to their art. ‘Given the economic climate and with all the artists that we know suddenly without viable work, it became clear one evening as we sat around the dinner table, that art could be treated as a currency. We want to make art more accessible for those who don’t have it in their environment’.”
