Lang, Georgia C.
- Abstract
The article describes an exhibition—Jean Despujols: Indochina Odyssey—organized by the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum and featuring a collection of paintings of Southeast Asia. This exhibition, along with an ancillary exhibition and extensive interpretive programs, was developed as a proactive outreach to the newly arrived Hmong immigrant population in Wausau, Wisconsin, the location of the museum. Descriptions of Hmong participation, newly formed partnerships, and positive civic outcomes are included.
