Barter Market and Free Movie Night Wednesday April 16th

14 Apr

BarterMarketMidtown Experiment and Broadway East Art Walk are gearing up for their next event which I might add is FREE.  First up is the Barter Market which will be held at the Midtown Experiment at 585 E. Broadway. Do you have extra things to get rid of or services you’d like to offer in exchange for some goods? If so, bring the items you wish trade to this week’s Barter Market. You are welcome to bring books, clothing, seeds, seedlings, art, services or whatever else you wish to share.  You are invited to come down and be a part of Vancouver’s sharing economy.  The Barter Market gets under way at 6:30 pm.

Next up is a free screening of the documentary People In Motion which is about Parkour. Parkour is an art that encourages people to think differently about their environment and experience it in a new way. As seats are limited for the movie, you are encouraged to bring a folding chair if you have one, or a blanket or coat, as the space can get a bit cool.  The movie runs for one hour after which the Barter Market will continue until 9:30 pm. Everyone is welcome to attend this free event.  You are asked to RSVP via Eventbrite.
