New Kentuckians was a special exhibit of artwork in the Kentucky Museum's Community Gallery that included forty pieces of children’s artwork and stories created in 2001 from a partnership between the Museum and Parker Bennett’s ESL program. Children from Bosnia, Mexico, Laos, El Salvador, Vietnam and Cambodia chronicled through art and narrative their arrivals to the United States in the 1990s.  On view from August 26, 2017 through February 2, 2017, this exhibit is now available online.  More Information.
