All aboard Barter Boat!!! 🚢 Coming to Springfield, MO May 1st!
Follow along + get dock access: Instagram
Barter Boat is a traveling, collaborative art installation by Anna Elliott, Desireé Moore, and Robin Schwartzman, with an ever-growing crew of sailors. At each stop, we set up our “boat” and trade objects + stories with the public—no money, just meaning, memory, and material culture in motion.
Come find them on the route, bring something odd, beloved, or overlooked, and help them set sail into the next exchange. Whether you have a small trinket or a legendary Route 66 story, they want to hear from you! All hands on deck!
Central Park Square, May 1st, 1pm-6pm
Sponsored by SHSMO (The State Historical Society of Missouri)in partnership with Missouri Humanities and the Missouri Humanities Trust Fund.
