Swap-O-Rama – a clothing and costume swap!
This Saturday, 12p-5p, at the Venice Center for Peace and Justice and the Arts, join in a communal process of reuse and celebrate collective creativity! Swap-O-Rama-Rama is a giant clothing swap event with sewing and silk screening stations. Have fun expanding your wardrobe in this community experience and explore creatively recycling reused clothes.
At this Swap-O-Rama-Rama you’ll find a host of talent brought together to teach you how to transform your new/used duds into unique works of your own. There are Sewing Stations where local designers offer fresh clothing mod tricks, on-site Silk Screeners & Stencilers with a collection of original designs, and all these extraordinary designers showing off their work for you.
The core of the swap is the gigantic piles of free clothing sorted (by volunteers) into categories: pants, shirts, skirts, sweaters etc. Take home as much clothing as you can carry. Remainders go to Out of the Closet. Yeah – walk out with a new wardrobe or create an awesome Halloween costume—or both!
