Super Summer Clothing Swap will take place on Saturday, June 27^th from 12 noon to 5pm. This is a free community event organized and promoted by Hannah Winkler, a 2009 graduate of Classical High School. This event is open to the public. It will take place at New Urban Arts, 743 Westminster Street, Providence. The clothing swap is an event for Providencians to get rid of old (lightly used) clothing they no longer want and have their pick of piles of secondhand clothes.

To be able to receive clothes, participants must bring at least one item of unwanted clothing to the swap (although bringing more is encouraged). Tables and blankets will be set up for participants to display clothing. Most importantly, this event is totally free! No money will be exchanged for clothing. Any leftovers at the end of the day will be transported to the Salvation Army.

Come to get free clothes, reduce clothing waste (secondhand is a form of recycling), and have some summer fun at the Super Summer Clothing Swap!

Oh hey! This Saturday, November 15, 2008 (a.k.a, tomorrow) from 1pm - 5pm at AS220 (a.k.a 115 empire st, pvd, ri 02903), and for FREE (a.k.a zero (0) dollars) is the totally charming Yankee Art Swap. If you missed it last time (which I did), you should make sure to not miss it this time. Additionally, if you missed the print lottery and my transcendence of states through excessive liquid consumption last time I MC’d, you may have found your second opportunity (although hopefully not). whatever!!!! here’s the press release (or whatever!!!)! god!

“Bring a piece of original work for swappin’. Mickey Zacchilli will MC, and it’s gonna be awesome. The convoluted rules for a yankee-style swap are as such: each person who brings a piece of art gets a to draw a number. The person with the lowest number goes first and gets to choose from all of the pieces of art. We continue in numeric order but the following people not only get to pick from what remains out, BUT they can also choose from what anyone has already picked, yeah it’s like stealing –and that is the fun part. If and when your choice piece of art gets taken away from you, you may choose once again from the items out on the table, but you cannot steal from other people at this point, bummer. . . We go through everyone and finally we return to the first person, they can then choose from everyone else’s art!”
