Student Writers & Artists Sought for                          From Many Lands :              Celebrating Immigrant Workers                      of the Past & Present
			The Museum invites students grades 3-12 to share their creative talent and unique ideas by participating in the exhibit project. From Many Lands: Celebrating Immigrant Workers of the Past & Present. Due to the success of past years' projects, the Museum and the Passaic County Education Ass. (PCEA) have decided to provide students with an opportunity to utilize their visual arts and creative writing skills. Registered students will select an immigrant worker and explore the experiences of a new country and workplace. Labor Unions who are mem-bers of the Museum's Speakers Bureau are available to visit classrooms throughout the county to present talks on immigrant workers as a means of inspiration to the students. Selected art projects and student essays will be featured in an exhibit at the Museum. Angelica M. Santomauro, Ed.D., Director of the Museum announced the project, saying, "This program enables young people to express themselves creatively and think about the importance of immigrant workers as did the striking silk mill workers who peacefully assembled at the Botto House in 1913 and worked together to bring about positive changes in their workplace and daily lives. It also is a lifetime opportunity to have one's own work exhibited in a museum. Participating students will always remember the experience. The exhibit will be unveiled preceding the Museum's Julius Margolin May Day Festical on Saturday, May 1st, 2010. All participants, families and teachers will be invited to the opening reception on May 1st at 12 PM. The May Day festival begins at 1 PM.
