Harbourfront Centre is celebrating the Lunar New Year with CIBC LunarFest. CIBC LunarFest is Canada's premier presenter of contemporary expression in Asian arts and culture, and this year's festival, celebrating the dawn of the Year of the Dragon, will be centred on the theme of "Treasures of the Sea."

The festival's centrepiece will be a giant Lantern Aquarium. Inside, a variety of exhibitions of traditional and contemporary arts created by some of Taiwan's foremost artisans explore the world under the sea.

Just show up with your unwanted (but clean & good quality) clothes, and leave with a newly revamped wardrobe!

There will be yummy snacks courtesy of Miss Cora’s Kitchen, on-site alterations and – of course – tons of clothes! You can also look forward to workshops.

All clothing, shoes jewellery and other accessories (but no socks and undies please) which are clean and in good condition are welcome.

If you’re in need of a wardrobe upgrade, but have nothing to contribute, it’s just an extra five bucks.

At the end of the day all unclaimed clothing will be donated to local charities.

The history of rug hooking in Canada goes well beyond an account of a domestic craft in which decorative and practical furnishings were produced for personal household use. Citing examples that span diverse communities and geographical regions, Sharon MacDonald will explore the fascinating and significant role that hooked rugs have played in the hidden and not-so-hidden economy over the past century.
