“移民故事” 欢迎你的投稿

As a prelude to Lexington’s 250th anniversary celebration, and to kink off May AAPI Heritage Month, the Lexington Council for the Arts (LCA) and Chinese American Association Lexington (CAAL) are inviting residents to submit writings and paintings depicting the immigrant experience – an important part of the town’s history.

This celebrates diversity, equity, and inclusion by providing a platform for powerful stories of courage, resilience, and pursuing the American dream.

Submission categories are: Children (12 and under), Youth (13-17), and Adults for both writing (under 2000 words) and painting (11×14, 12×16, or 16×20 inches).

A panel will judge all entries due by May 10. Winning works will be featured at a public exhibition and storytelling event in late May during AAPI and Jewish American Heritage Month.

For more information, contact Elizabeth Xu ( exu@caal-ma.org ) or visit the website

移民是美国社会的重要组成部分。无论是提高社区的活力，还是丰富社区的文化画卷，都离不开一代又一代来自世界各地、不同背景的移民。作为建镇250周年的先导活动之一，莱镇华人协会(CAAL)和莱镇艺术委员会(LCA)将在今年5月的亚裔传统月和犹太裔传统月期间举办一场移民故事展览，致敬为美国以及莱镇建设做出了贡献的一代又一代移民。

我们诚邀所有莱镇居民以及相关人士提交文学和绘画作品，记录你所知道的移民经历、情感、成就以及所经历的挑战。我们鼓励所有人分享你所知道的关于勇气、坚韧以及追求美好生活的故事，彰显多元化、公平性和包容性的重要性。
