Celebrating the upcoming 2024 Lunar New Year, the ShoreLake Arts Gallery in Lake Forest Park is collaborating with Casion Jewelry in Bothell to offer a display of handmade, modern Asian-themed jewelry.
“The year of the dragon is recognized in the Asian culture to be an auspicious year and is the only mythical creature of all the 12 zodiac animals in the Asian horoscope,” Casion Jewelry founder and designer Fay Lim said. “As a traditional custom, a new piece of clothing or anything new is worn to welcome and celebrate a new year with a fresh start. Working with ShoreLake Arts, we are honoring this tradition with Asian-themed jewelry available for sale.”
“We believed in the value of amplifying the voices of our culturally rich community through the arts,” said ShoreLake Arts Gallery Director Lisa Palmatier. “We’re pleased to join Casion Jewelry in promoting equity through the arts and offering Asian-themed jewelry in celebration of the Lunar New Year.”
The unique collection is available in the ShoreLake Arts Gallery during February. The gallery is operating on winter hours: Wednesday through Saturday, noon- 5 p.m.
