Young Affiliates of the Mint
YAMs
Established in 1990 the Young Affiliates of the Mint encourages young professionals to become involved with The Mint Museum. The Young Affiliates sponsor both social and fundraising events such as the annual Mint after 5 series, featuring live music on the rooftop of the Mint Museum of Craft + Design; Derby Days, a viewing party of the Kentucky Derby on the front lawn of the Mint Museum of Art; and the Black & White Ball, a semi-formal inspired by Truman Capote&srquo;s celebrated masquerade ball of 1966. Educational opportunities include the ARTitudes series, which combines evening socials with lectures on such topics as collecting art and antiques, and allows members to explore the local and regional art scene through gallery crawls, hands-on activities and visits to area museums. For more information on the Young Affiliates and upcoming events, please e-mail or call the Young Affiliates Coordinator at 704/337-2010 or visit their Web site.
