CHAT's mission is to nurture and develop Hmong artists to enhance the community. CHAT's vision is to create a substantial Hmong arts community with a network of diverse professional artists and a supportive audience that understand and values the benefits of the arts.

Brief History of the Organization:
The Center for Hmong Arts and Talent (CHAT) grew out of Pom Siab Hmoob Theatre (PSHT), the first Hmong theatre company in the world. PSHT wrote and produced five successful community-based theatrical productions between 1990-1997. In 1998, PSHT organizers decided to expand their focus beyond theatre arts in order to serve more artists in the Hmong community. PSHT changed its name to the Center for Hmong Arts and Talent (CHAT) and expanded its reach into six artistic disciplines: visual, theatre, literary, music, traditional Hmong arts and multi-media arts-making. It's the first Hmong arts organization in the United States.
