Brooklyn Art Swap

ALL ARTISTS, NO MONEY

The Brooklyn Art Swap is an evening of direct exchange between artists. No sales. No prices. Just artists trading their own work with one another.

When you arrive, you’ll find a place to display what you’ve brought—on the walls or on tables—and spend the evening meeting other artists and seeing what connections form. Some exchanges happen quickly. Others take time. Some happen through quiet recognition across the room.

You’re welcome to briefly share a few words about your work, or simply let it speak for itself. The evening closes with an optional lottery-style exchange, where chance may also guide where works land. This is not a marketplace, but a shared ritual of circulation and trust—one that allows artworks to move directly between artists’ lives.

GALLERY 198 is located at 198 24th Street, in South Slope, Brooklyn.
