For an exhibition with bold ambitions – “Bartering may be the answer to bail us out of our current crisis” says the press release – a group of artists will present artworks and accept payment in trade, not cash.

Art4Barter runs August 27 to August 29 at Chelsea’s Tria Gallery (547 West 27th Street, Suite 504).

None of the works by the fourteen participating artists will be sold for money. A list of services and goods that the artist desires (dental work, studio space etc) will be posted on wall labels.

This is the 7th show organized by the Art4Barter brainchild, artist Antonio Puri. Other artists include Erica Brown, Niyeti Chadha, Quentin Morris and Avani Patel.
