The IndieSpace Give & Gain Market is a welcoming, two-hour guided space where indie artists and creatives come together (virtually or in person) to exchange their passions, skills, knowledge, resources, and opportunities.
It’s a unique process designed to foster collaboration and mutual support outside traditional economic systems. Whether you’re offering a professional service, sharing a recipe, or looking for a place to live, this market encourages community-driven solutions and opens the door to endless possibilities for connection and growth.
Join us for our first Give & Gain Market on Tuesday, October 29, at 6pm
We’ll be meeting over Zoom.
How It Works:
Give: Share your unique skills, services, or resources – whether artistic, professional, or personal.
Gain: Identify areas where you need support, from creative feedback to practical resources.
Connect: The market fosters meaningful relationships, enabling participants to support each other’s journeys.
Why It Matters: The IndieSpace Give & Gain Market represents a shift toward an alternative economy rooted in creativity, collaboration, and mutual support. In contrast to traditional economies focused on competition and scarcity, this market highlights the abundance within our indie arts community. It reinforces the power of a community that thrives on giving, receiving, and growing together.
The Give & Gain Market is not just about networking – it’s about building meaningful connections that can lead to collaboration, support, and growth. It’s a proven way to elevate your self-esteem and trust in others, while also accessing high-quality goods and services that enhance your artistic journey.
We are proud to host this space and hope it can be a model for equitable funding and resourcing for the indie theater community.
A Special Thanks: We’re grateful to the Post Growth Institute for helping us structure this transformative program.
