Come celebrate Lexington’s diverse immigrant community at Cary Library, at 1874 Massachusetts Avenue at the Immigration Storytelling and Art Exhibition! A special storytelling reception will be held on Thursday, May 30 from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 pm, where light refreshments will be provided. This celebration of Lexington’s rich cultural diversity and the invaluable contributions of immigrants is a wonderful opportunity for the community to come together through art and shared stories.
The exhibition highlights the works of Lexington residents of all ages that capture the immigrant experience – the emotions, successes, challenges, courage and resilience in pursuit of the American dream through writings, paintings and drawings.
The Immigration Storytelling and Art Exhibition is hosted by local organizations including the Chinese American Association of Lexington, Lexington Council for the Arts, Lexington Lyceum Advocate, Indian Americans of Lexington, Japanese Support Group of Lexington, Association of Black Citizens of Lexington, Lexington Historical Society, Munroe Center for the Arts and Lexington Human Rights Committee.
