About OurGoods

OurGoods is a peer-to-peer online network that facilitates the barter of goods and services between artists. The site matches barter partners, provides accountability tools, and offers technical assistance resources to help artists complete their barters and their projects successfully.

OurGoods emerges in response to the current economic crisis. To some extent, the arts have always existed in a recession economy. Independent artists in particular are experts at making do with very limited resources. As it becomes clear that even those limited resources will shrink in the coming years, OurGoods enables us to leverage what we already do well in order to create a support system for ourselves.

OurGoods is a recipient of The Field's Economic Revitalization for Performing Artists (ERPA) grant. ERPA receives funding from The Rockefeller Foundation's Cultural Innovation Fund. For more information, please visit thefield.org or economicrevitalization.blogspot.com.
