Attention Student Writers & Artists!                         Learn about Immigrant Workers & see                 your essays and artwork displayed in a Museum.
	Students grades 3-12 are invited 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 Associations (PCEA) are generously provide students with an opportunity to utilize their visual arts and creative writing skills to exhibit their essays and artwork at the Museum. Registered students will select an immigrant worker and explore the experiences of a new country and workplace.  Labor unionists  who are members of the Museum's Speakers Bureau are available to visit classrooms to present talks on immigrant workers as a means of inspiration for 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 contributions of immigrant workers, who like the striking silk mill workers who peacefully assembled at the Botto House in 1913, worked 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 Festival on Saturday, May 1st, 2010.  All participants, families and teachers will be invited to the opening reception for the student exhibit on May 1st at 12 PM. The Julius Margolin May Day Festival begins at 1 PM.
