Welcome to Non*Mart
est. 2009 Non*Mart first started as a design studio and shop in that encouraged artists to use post-consumer waste and repurposed materials to create new goods and services. Non*Mart’s general mission is to explore alternatives to consumerism and develop more relational, less commercial means of economic exchange between makers of objects and those who value them. Non*Mart is currently sponsoring the Trade-O-Mat. a new form of “vending” and antidote to mechanized retail experiences. The Trade-O-Mat's goal is to promote community engagement, challenge conventional buying behaviors and give consumers an alternative to currency based exchange.
