Hmong Archives Mural Canceled
Hmongtown Market and Frogtown Festival has been canceled due to unusual circumstances. With that said, we had to also cancel our art fundraiser event, since we were hosting it at the festival.
We apologize for the inconvenience. We were looking forward to having this event and had hoped that it would turn out to be a success. However, things don't always going according to plan.
Nevertheless, we are always hopeful of future events that will offer us a greater opportunity to bring awareness to the Hmong community about the importance of preserving the Hmong heritage.
We hope to have your continued support in future events. Thank you for your understanding.

Hmongtown Connections presents...
Hmongtown Market and Frogtown Festival 2009
In collaboration with Seexeng Lee, a well-known regional artist in Minnesota, Hmong Archives will be working together with him to create a mural of the Hmong culture through the eyes of the Hmong and possibly non-Hmong people as well.
This art event will be held at the Hmongtown Market and Frogtown Festival in Saint Paul, Minnesota.
It is both a fundraiser and an art activity aim to bring awareness to the Hmong community about the importance of preserving Hmong heritage through the arts.
This cause is open to anyone and it's FREE to attend!
To those who are interested in contributing to the Hmong Archives Mural, we want you to know that you are taking part in changing our Hmong future and history. Furthermore, you are taking a crucial step to bring awareness by helping other Hmong see the beauty, uniqueness and richness of the Hmong culture through your eyes.
Best of all, you don't have to be an expert artist to participate. If you can draw stick figures, you are more than qualify to contribute to this mural. So what do you have to lose?
This is your opportunity to paint your artistic portrait of Hmong culture - what does it mean, represent, or look like to you? It is your turn to illustrate what Hmong culture is to the present and further generations and inspired them to do the same as well.
Once created, this mural will be on display at the Hmong Archives for all to see, learn from and appreciate the beauty, uniqueness and richness of the Hmong culture.
So join us, have fun with us, and help us paint Hmong culture. We, alone, cannot do this without your support. Take part in this cause to leave your art piece of Hmong culture behind for many future generations to see - preserved by Hmong Archives, this mural will be a part of your legacy for the future Hmong.
