ArtBarter' at The Rag Factory

Bring along anything worth bartering with and bag yourself a piece of art by one of 50 of London's established and emerging artists.


Bartering has always been big in the art community, but now the rest of us are broke too, its a trend thats catching on- be it clothes 'swishing,' freecycling, or swapping whatever talent, skill or possession you have for some serious wall candy. With works by Tracey Emin, Gavin Turk, Mat Collishaw, Abigail Lane, Polly Morgan, Boo Saville, Mike Figgis and Ian Bruce, there are bound to be some gems up for grabs at ArtBarter. The catch is you won't know who's work is which; forcing you to barter for the stuff you like rather than just heading straight for the big names.
