Mint Artists Guild has reached another milestone: A piece of our art now belongs in a major arts institution’s collection.
Success sounds sweet after we donated a Paint Detroit with Generosity painting to the Detroit Symphony Orchestra.
The painting, created last year in the Mint Creative Summer Jobs program by worker Charles, will hang in the DSO’s new education wing.
Mint’s Paint Detroit with Generosity initiative in 2018 was underwritten by a Michigan Council for the Arts grant, with Culture Source and the National Endowment for the Arts, and supported by Blossoms, a full service florist, and many individual donors.
We give original paintings to more than 25 local nonprofits, from Mercy Education Projects to Ronald McDonald House to the Greening of Detroit. Several others beyond the Detroit Symphony Orchestra celebrate music, performance and culture:
- Crescendo Detroit
- Heritage Works
- Mosaic Youth Theatre
- YMCA Y-Arts.
And the Boll Family YMCA in downtown Detroit hosted our exhibit last year where thousands of people saw the paintings created by Mint workers.
To support this year’s summer jobs program, where these lovely paintings are created, please give to our spring fundraiser today. Give $250 or more and you may choose a small Mint painting as your reward.
Paint Detroit with Generosity is worth a standing ovation and a big donation!
