The Big Idea
The Center for Hmong Arts and Talent grew out of Pom Siab Hmoob Theatre, the world's first Hmong theatre company. The Center later expanded its focus to serve more Hmong artists by reaching into multiple disciplines—making it the first and only multidisciplinary Hmong arts organization in the world. Today, the Center functions as a social justice arts organization that engages with the community through convenings and arts and culture events to better understand and meet the needs of the Hmong community.
