I have not seen this, but it certainly sounds interesting. If you might consider bringing this to your area, contact Norris with the exhibit.

Subject: migrant exhibition, Coming Up on the Season

I saw this exhibit recently in NYC. It was very informative. If your agency is interested in displaying the exhibit and has the financial resources and space necessary, please contact . If not, maybe a number of us can jointly sponsor the exhibit and share the expenses?

Dear --

Thanks so much for inquiring about the exhibition, Coming Up on the Season. We're thrilled that it could go to Washington. For 2005, it's tentatively going to Syracuse in February-April, and then to the Yager Museum at Hartwick College in Oneonta from September-January, 06. As you can see, there's a gap there, and then there's nothing booked for 2006. If you saw the exhibit at the Financial History Museum, you actually only saw about half of it, given the size of their space. The exhibition has several distinguishing components: the exhibit text is in English and Spanish both reflecting our commitment to today's workers; it includes two video installations, one on the skill of apple-picking and the second an ending installation, Voices of the Harvest, in which growers, workers, consumers and migrant advocates speak directly to the issues. There are several interactive sections in the exhibit in which visitors can understand the nature of farm work, reflect on a trip North and consider the ways in which tools are modified to ease work. The exhibit includes a family gallery guide (also in English and Spanish) and school materials.

The rental fee is $5000 for three months, $7500 for six months plus shipping costs (which have averaged about $5000--but would probably be more to Washington). The rental fee includes 25 copies of each curriculum guide, 1000 copies of the family gallery guide, and 150 copies of the poster, plus an installation design for your space if desired. The exhibition is about 2,000 square feet; however it can fit in smaller space as well. It requires a space with some security, rather than an unattended location.

I've attached the general press release for the exhibit and some material including visitor comments, interactive elements and ways in which the exhibition has been used in various venues.

I look forward to speaking with you more about it--and I'd be happy to send you images of the exhibit, curriculum materials and copies of the videotape installations to share in your discussions with colleagues. Thanks again for your interest.

Norris
