2:30pm: Social Media for Artists
presented by Man Bartlett, Social Media Artist in Residence at Residency Unlimited
Man Bartlett will discuss how artists and cultural producers are using social media platforms in a variety of ways--from marketing themselves to engagement with an audience to using platforms as mediums for artistic expression. Within this framework Man will emphasize the importance of finding the right platform(s) for each individual, and give practical tips on how to develop your social media voice.

5pm: Live Barter Meetup
facilitated by OurGoods
OurGoods is a community of artists, designers and cultural producers who barter skills, spaces and objects. OurGoods supports the production of new work through barter because resource sharing is the paradigm of the 21st century. Staff will be on hand to facilitate a live barter event, walking guests through Barter 101, helping to identify haves and needs and eventually making a bartering match.
