JUST SWAP IT: The Art Machine's Studio Swap Meet

The Art Making Machine wants to take your stuff. But don’t worry, you’ll get something in return. The Machine, a collection of studios with the FLUXspace gallery in the middle, is hosting a studio swap meet tomorrow. You bring your unwanted materials — whether they’re art supplies, artwork or anything else useful — and you take home someone else’s. Artists are invited to register a five-foot-by-five-foot space to display what they’re trading: those things that “you keep in the studio because it’s great and you love it and you think one day you’ll use it, but you won’t,” says Shaun Baer, a studio member.

And it’s not just for artists — this event is open to the public, too. You can bring in your life-sized stuffed armadillo and perhaps pick up the complete works of Stephenie Meyer. There’s just one caveat: the Machine is putting the “emphasis on cool stuff, not junk,” Baer notes.

Sat., June 18, free, 2 p.m.-6 p.m., Art Making Machine, 3000 N. Hope St., artmakingmachine.com. Email info@artmakingmachine.com to register for a space.
