The Great Labor Arts Exchange is an annual arts festival which celebrates the labor history of the United States and preserves, advances and promotes the culture of the American labor movement.

Labor arts are “part of how we come together, how we find our unity, how we remind ourselves of our values, how we sustain ourselves through the hard times.”

– Al Bradbury, Labor Notes editor

Labor arts, including music…poetry…film/video…theater…art…history…spoken word…and more!
