The Great Labor Arts Exchange Heads Back to Labor Notes
Harold Phillips | Published on 5/24/2026
For those attending the 2026 Labor Notes Conference, the program is now online, featuring nearly 300 workshops, panels, and events — and once again LHF’s Great Labor Arts Exchange will bring labor songs, stories, poetry, film, and art to the weekend.
GLAE activities kick off Thursday night, June 11, with a Pub Quiz at 5 p.m., a screening of Who Moves America at 7 p.m., and a Labor Song Swap and Jam at 9 p.m.; attendees are encouraged to bring instruments, songbooks, poems, and other creative work to share throughout the weekend.
The conference also includes labor arts workshops such as Punch Needle Embroidery with Tabitha Arnold and Make a Scabby Mask To Spice Up Your Picket Line, both requiring advance registration due to limited space (registrants check your email for details).
Main sessions will be streamed; details to follow.
