Starting Jan 14th, visit our participating businesses to take home your very own Lunar New Year goodies made by the W.O.W. team! Patrons who spend $25 or more will receive a one page calendar. Patrons who spend $45 or more will  receive a free, limited-edition charm and a calendar.

Catch us at Abrons Arts Center for a free community workshop where participants of all ages are invited to create rabbit-themed headdresses and transform recycled materials into a large-scale community charm to bring good fortune and protection for the Year of the Water Rabbit.

All elements were thoughtfully created by W.O.W. community members and include found objects from the businesses, such as embroidered silk fabric from Wen Wah and impressions of ginseng roots from EWA. In addition to the charms, we have also designed a Year of the Rabbit one-page calendar to keep a piece of our calendar tradition alive. Starting January 14th, patrons who spend $25 or more will receive a one page calendar. Patrons who spend $45 or more will also receive a free, limited-edition charm and a calendar.
