Join us for our second annual Mission Day, a celebration of the people, partnerships, and creative labor that drives coLAB Arts’ mission. This year’s theme, “Labor of Love,” honors the individuals, organizations, and communities who directly engage in supporting workers’ rights, organizing, and storytelling in New Jersey.We’ll be reflecting on our past year’s work with New Jersey Monuments to Migration and Labor, a collaboration with Rutgers University and funded by the Mellon Foundation that will be leading to the creation of three new monuments in North, Central, and South Jersey in 2026. Our New Brunswick facilitation and organizing partners have included New Brunswick Tomorrow, Unity Square, and Caritas of Holy Family Parish.
The Maevonia Caldwell Community Conversation, named in honor of the late coLAB Arts board member and community leader, will feature a keynote presentation by Anna Barcy and other organizers of New Jersey-based workers’ rights organization New Labor. The program will include a panel discussion with collaborating artists directly responding to this work, and performances.
Coffee and bagels will be provided at the beginning of the program which will culminate with a catered lunch.
TIME: 10:00 AM for bagels and coffee, 10:30 AM program start, 12:00 PM lunch
