#On the 15th of January 2011 Tupajumi organised the Fitax500 at Kunst & Complex in Rotterdam.
The First International Tupajumi Art Exchange was a fact. An art trading event were artists and collectors were invited to swap/trade an artpiece worth of aprox. 500Euro.

#The artpiece could be one they owned or created themselves. In this manner the participants could either expand or start their collection.

Remark: If only all collectors would follow the taste of artists we would have different artists at the top.

Advice:
- Try and get the best deal you can get.
- Be active, make your work seen, take options on a trade. spread your risks.
- Wait for the best moment to swap, maybe even better offers will come along ! Maybe not.
- Trade as many times as you want in order to obtain the piece you want.
- Maybe you will go home with the work you brought in.
- If you do not wish to trade with something that's not your taste or think it is not worth it, just say no.

Tupajumi will help and introduce you to the participants if needed, but we will not trade for you ! :-)
