Mint Masterpieces

Mint Masterpieces is an annual party that is held in a major Detroit art collector’s home to support Mint Artists Guild and its growth.  In 2019, Judge Deborah Geraldine Bledsoe Ford and attorney Jerome Watson opened their art-filled Palmer Woods home to guests who purchased tickets on the evening of Saturday, Oct. 19 from 6 pm-9 pm. They live just across Seven Mile from the Mint Studios in Palmer Park and Judge Ford is herself an artist as is her daughter.
