There’s only a week and a day left to “shop” at the Free Store on Nassau Street. The project, which opened last month, is the brainchild of artists Athena Robles and Anna Stein. It’s funded in part by The Lower Manhattan Cultural Council (LMCC) and The September 11th Fund.

Although you may walk in and take something without putting in, you’re encouraged to drop off. Obviously, if nobody worked on the barter system, the store would’ve been empty the first day. Word is there is still plenty of merchandise.

More info at Free NYC or Artlog. If you want to read something really funny, check out the comments on the NY Post article. People getting all up in arms about the project. “Hippies!” “Commies!” “It’s Obama’s fault!” Good stuff.
