The entire 12-week Art Saves Us (ASU) Session was dedicated to the Community POWER grant project. ASU is one of Center for Hmong Arts and Talent's youth programs, which offers free art classes to children and youth during out-of-school hours. After the youth were trained on the issues of waste and toxicity, they wrote four short skits and a song. These were filmed, edited and presented at four major community events: QDN Film Festival at Metro State University, the Plato Ramsey County Building, APIA Spoken Word Summit at McPhail, and the 10th Annual Hmong Arts and Music Festival at Western Sculpture Park. The Center for Hmong Arts and Talent also hosted a Rethink Recycling booth, which included posters, handout materials and the button-maker, at the 9th Annual Hmong Arts and Music Festival on in August 2010, where there was an estimated 3,000 people in attendance. Many people stopped at the booth to make a button.
