How to Art. Swap. Meet.? When you bring a piece of art, 
grab a number at random out of the bowl at the door. Then, wait to hear your number called so you can pick out a piece of artwork from the pool of art (swap begins at 7:30pm). Feel free to trade numbers as you mingle. If you see that piece you must have, all will have the opportunity to snatch it up by buying a raffle ticket in order win one of the first five selections of the night.
