There’s a gap between artists and museums, and we’re looking to bridge that gap. With our new exhibition, Coined in the South, we are looking to present new and innovative works that have yet to be seen by a large audience.
_
Earlier this year we had an open call to artists from or working in the Southern United States, and over 2,000 works of art were submitted for consideration. Unconfined to any theme, our three jurors set out to find wondrous works of art from a multitude of places, and from artists with diverse backgrounds. This show is one that celebrates uniqueness and promotes conversation through the narratives presented by artists that are living and working in our own backyard.

Coined in the South opens this Thursday, October 10, with a celebration at 7 PM. Come by to vote on your favorite work of art, and to see who gets awarded best-in-show!

We opened the exhibition just a few weeks ago and have been astounded by the reaction from the Charlotte community. If you haven’t seen it, now is your time. There are three works of art and two videos from Studio Drift on display at our Uptown location. #themintmuseum #TheYearOfLight
