NYU Swap-A-Palooza: Sunday, April 26

NYU is having a swap this Sunday, April 26 2-6PM

Swap-a-Palooza is a clothing swap and series of do-it-yourself workshops which feature creative reuse through the recycling of used clothing. Bring a bag of old clothing and get ready to swap and alter with the help of local artists. We hope to feature many do-it-yourself stations run by local artists and a recycled clothing fashion show. The idea of the swap-a-palooza is to celebrate community creativity while allowing the NYU community to put their personal touch on a stand against consumerism.

Kimmel Center for University Life

60 Washington Square South

Eisner & Lubin Auditorium, 4th Floor

Sunday January 4: GEMS Benefit Clothing Swap and Screening

Author Janice Erlbaum alerted me about this clothing swap event this Sunday.

Please join me for a clothing swap and screening of the Showtime documentary “Very Young Girls,” to benefit GEMS , an organization that helps girls who have been commercially sexually exploited.

Under St. Mark’s Theater
94 St. Marks Place, between First Ave. and Ave. A
Doors at 5PM
Screening at 5:30PM
Clothing swap and cocktails 7-8:307PM

Suggested donation: Whatever you can afford. Seating is limited — please RSVP to get on the list. Note: Because we will be getting undressed, as well as smashing the patriarchy, this is a women-only event. Tell your girls!

****
Suggestions for the clothing swap:
Please bring only clean, gently-worn clothes, shoes, and accessories in bags; the kind of clothes you’d be happy to pick up and wear.  We’ll have stations where you can quickly sort your items by size and function when you arrive; after the screening, you’re free to browse the piles and take home as much as you brought! (Of course, if you take a little less than you brought, we’ll have more great clothes left over to give to the girls of GEMS.)

Sunday Swap at St. Mark’s Church (November 30)

Tomorrow (Sunday Nov 30th)  FREE SWAP at 6PM
St Mark’s Church (10th St & 2nd Ave)

Free food too!

Bring anything and everything you would toss out anyway:.
Clothes
Books
CDs DVDs Videos
Kitchen ware
Linens
Towels
just about anything you don’t want anymore.

Let’s Go Green this holiday season … re-gift – recycle – pass it on!

Astoria Swap: November 22

Right before Thanksgiving, there will be a swap in Queens.

Swap-O-Rama!
Saturday, November 22nd
11:00 am-2:00pm

Calling all men, women and children: bring your clothing, shoes, jewelry….and
get ready to swap! If you’re fashion-independent, green-minded, DIY-centric or all of the above,
this is the event for you! Swap-o-ramas (aka swaplucks) are a fantastic way to
get free new-to-you clothes, find a new home for clothing that no longer excites
you, meet new friends and help save the environment.

A.R.R.O.W. Community Center
35-30 35th Street
Astoria, Queens

This event is co-sponsored by Triple R Events and New York City Parks &
Recreation.

Light refreshments will be available. Remaining items will be donated to the
Astoria Park Alliance for their December 6th fundraiser or to a thrift-store
nearby.

RSVPs appreciated but not required: queensisgreenATgmailDOTcom
