A Call for Passions
February 21, 2009 through April 5, 2009
Smart. FOB. Gang Member. These are some of the words that are used to describe Asian Pacific Islander American youth. Noticeably, ‘passionate’ is not one of these words. A Call for Passions, an exhibit of the Museum’s YouthCAN Program, displays the art of local Asian Pacific Islander American youth artists, winners of the 2009 YouthCAN High School Exhibits Contest, who express their passions and their talent through diverse mediums.
