Don't miss out on this rare chance to join the community to trade stuff in a fun, friendly, and unique event.
About this Event

Do you have stuff you don't want anymore? Instead of tossing it or letting it collect dust, bring it to this fun event. You will meet other people in the community who want to trade their stuff for your stuff.
Here are three reasons you will enjoy this event:

  1. Obtain something new you always wanted (or never knew existed)
  2. Tell people you celebrated Earth Day a week late at a swap event
  3. Meet a new friend or reconnect with an old one


What to Expect

  • Event opens to the public for a short window of time
  • People enter the space with their object or experience ready to trade
  • Participants interact and barter for their desired object
  • People can trade one time or multiple times
  • When satisified with a trade, participants can leave


Notable Trade Stories

  • Kyle MacDonald traded a paperclip for a house in a small town in Canada
  • Demi Skipper traded a bobby pin for a house in Clarksville, TN close to Nashville, TN
  • In the The Office, Dwight Schrute traded a thumbtack up to a telescope. Then, he traded the telescope for magical beans.


Backstory

In March 2026, Artist KEVPOP dropped a cheerio. Instead of throwing it away, KEVPOP wondered if he could transform this cheerio into something amazing. Inspired by trade up challenges, KEVPOP set out to trade the cheerio for a pencil, then the pencil for a map, and a map for a small bike. KEVPOP is on the search for the next trade. Do you want a bike?
On September 25, 2026, KEVPOP will be presenting a public talk at Creative Mornings: Nashville. If you want to be a part of this story, join our event and follow along at kevpop.com/trade


KEVPOP's previous collaborators include Rockefeller Center, Viacom's CMT, Metro Arts Nashville, and many more.
