The following is a message from OurGoods.org:

Dear maker of independent work,

This is an invitation to join a group of artists, designers, and craftspeople on www.OurGoods.org. OurGoods is a website that connects creative people who barter skills, spaces, and objects. Use OurGoods to get your project done in a community that runs on mutual respect.

Want to meet us in person and find people to barter with? We're hosting an idea party and barter matchmaking event on Saturday, November 13th at EFA Project Space. We'll help you brainstorm about your project, organize your NEEDS and HAVES, and connect you to potential barter matches.
