This bill appropriates funds to support the Hmong Cultural Center of Minnesota, emphasizing the importance of arts and cultural heritage. Specifically, it allocates $150,000 for each of the fiscal years 2026 and 2027 from the arts and cultural heritage fund to the Board of Directors of the Minnesota Humanities Center.
The funding is designated for grants aimed at enhancing museum-related programming, establishing a library, and providing classes and educational outreach activities. These initiatives are intended to educate the public about the historical, cultural, and folk arts heritage of Hmong Minnesotans, thereby promoting greater awareness and appreciation of this community's contributions to Minnesota's cultural landscape.
