Kan Liu@artof666k - Connection About Lunar New YearLunar New Year follows the lunar calendar, which runs in a 12-year cycle of Chinese zodiac animals. Each year is ruled by a specific zodiac sign and element, and 2024 is the Year of the Wood Dragon. In Chinese astrology for yin and yang, this is the year of the Yang-Wood Dragon. Celebrations can start a few days before the new year and last for days after, depending on the region. On Cara, we will start by featuring some past works with an assortment of dragons and lunar new year art for your enjoyment. We look forward to your pieces at the end of the event. We hope you have fun, and wish you a Happy Lunar New Year!
