Great Labor Arts Exchange Goes West

(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)

For the first time in 32 years, the Great Labor Art Exchange (GLAE) will not be held at the National Labor College. Instead, the annual labor creativity gathering - scheduled for June 18-21 -- will take place in Detroit, MI. The three-day festival of concerts and performances, workshops and networking has been timed to lead into the U.S. Social Forum, June 22-26 in Detroit. The Arts Exchange gives union activists a place to learn how to use creativity and the arts to build and enrich the union movement, as well as to show off their own gifts and talents.
