 examined.\n\nLocated in the Ashby Arts District only a half block from the

 during the month of July.\n\nA reception for Art and Labor will be held 
 Saturday, June 12th, from 6-8 PM, with live music provided by Freedom Song 
 Network Musicians.  On Saturday, June 26th 1-3 PM, cultural historian and 
 LaborFest organizer David Duckworth will present a slide show, Art from 
 LaborFest, and Steve Zeltzer, on the LaborFest organizing committee will

 drama, The Mothers of Ludlow, will be read and discussed by the writers and 
 director with participation from the Youth Musical Theater Company, whose 
 production goes up in July (see ymtcberkeley.org for further 
 details).\n\nOn Saturday, July 10th 2-5 PM, a LaborFest reception for the 
 exhibition will include commemoration of the 75th Anniversary of the Works 
 Progress Administration (WPA), with a presentation of vintage slides and
