x-change An art exhibition making a difference. When the world was first being explored, almost anything could be bought with spices. But did you know that the island of Manhattan was bought with beads?! In some parts of our world today there are communities where trading is their way of life (_x0018_ I_x0019_ ll trade you my chicken for some of your vegetables_x0019_ ). In our world today, many of us just seem to be so hung up on making money and what it can buy us. That_x0019_ s why this exhibition is a little bit different. Brought to you by the _x001C_ Small Change Collective_x001D_ , this group of 10 artists have all produced their work without concern for what money it might bring to them. Instead they are happy to trade their art for (almost) whatever you are willing to offer them! A trailer for a framed limited edition print? Yes! A couple of bottles of champagne for a necklace made from recycled glass beads? Sure thing! A massage for a polymer clay sculpture? Why not! There_x0019_ s no doubt that many of us have lost sight of what_x0019_ s really important in our quest for making money; it_x0019_ s time to start thinking about doing things differently. Let_x0019_ s start here, with this exhibition.
