Greetings, Impractical Laborers! We are thrilled to announce the opening of our first ILSSA exhibition, ILSSA: Every Day Work, which will be on display at the Hammes Gallery at St. Mary's College in South Bend, Indiana, from January 27-March 2, 2012. http://www3.saintmarys.edu/tickets/art-exhibition-3 An opening reception will be held on February 5th, which we hope some of you will be able to attend! The attached photos are some informal shots that Emily (Local 917 Shop RC) took soon after the installation was finished. We'll have some more formal photos to share soon. An accompanying publication is being prepared for the show. To ensure that we've included all participating members correctly, please review the list of members below and e-mail your Co-Ops at operator@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx if we need to make any changes or additions. And for those of you without a Local and Shop listed, please e-mail us with your preferred number/letter combo. Thanks to tall participating members, and to Krista Hoefle (Local 574 Shop KH) for her invitation to exhibit at St. Mary's, which made this show happen! The exhibition was inspiring and rewarding to install. We look forward to sharing the publication, as well as more photos, soon!
