Mint Artists Guild is proud to showcase youth art in the windows of Black- and women-owned businesses in Detroit, Hamtramck and other nearby places. This initiative started in 2020 during the pandemic, and encourages people to explore neighborhoods, support local businesses and see art in new places. It is based on the notion that art is for all, and belongs in all kinds of places.
It continued with a spring 2023 show along Livernois, an area roughly between Seven and Eight Mile Roads known as the Avenue of Fashion. Mint’s 2023 Art in Windows is underwritten by PNC.
In 2025, we expect to show up in two neighborhoods, one in the spring and one in the fall. If your neighborhood has ample Black- and women-owned businesses, and appreciates art, please be in touch.
