MINT- Atlanta

MINT’s mission is to make Atlanta a destination for the arts: a cultural hub where artists thrive, patrons experience transformative work, and communities are activated and engaged. In 2006, MINT was founded by undergraduate students at Atlanta universities to create a space for emerging artists and patrons to find their voices. We believe that art enriches the world, and our dynamic programming, exhibitions, community partnerships and outreach serves artists and art enthusiasts alike. We make space for artists to take risks, be curious, and create brilliant and challenging work reflective of our city. Since our founding, we have presented over 1,500 contemporary and experimental artists through our programs and exhibitions. MINT has proven over the past 14 years to be a sustainable organization and a trusted investment choice for philanthropic interests. In 2018, we became the first organization in Georgia to be W.A.G.E. certified. W.A.G.E. (Working Artists and the Greater Economy), establishes sustainable economic relationships between artists and the institutions that contract their labor, and introduces mechanisms for self-regulation into the art field that collectively bring about a more equitable distribution of its economy. Every artist presented by MINT is paid a fee at the level dictated by W.A.G.E. and our budget. In 2019, we moved into our current space in Adair Park: a 7,300 square foot, light-filled warehouse that we have transformed into a gathering place for artists and arts enthusiasts alike. Our exhibitions routinely attract more than 400 patrons to opening nights, with additional foot traffic throughout the duration of the exhibition’s run. Additionally, we facilitate artists talks, panel discussions, classes, and other gatherings to spur dialogue around contemporary arts and creative pursuits.
