About People ART Traders
People ART Traders — PAT — is a community built around a simple idea: people create value in more ways than one.
We work. We make things. We grow things. We repair, trade, teach, care, create and help one another. PAT gives that value a place to be seen, exchanged and remembered.
A plumber can also be a musician. A labourer can be a poet.
A nurse might paint. A mechanic might make furniture.
Someone known for one kind of work may have spent a lifetime creating art that they would love the chance to share and sell.
PAT is a place for the whole person, not just their job title.
A PATizen can offer labour and services, but they can also offer art, music, writing, handmade goods, produce, ideas and the things they create simply because creating is part of who they are.
PAT gives those different forms of value somewhere to meet. A PATizen can work, create, trade and build a visible history of the value they bring to their community.
PAT begins simply — real people, real work, real art and real trades — and grows from there.
