Wednesday Night Live: AdornMINT Opening Reception and Vendor Village

Free
Mint Museum Uptown
Young Affiliates of the Mint, in collaboration with The Mint Museum and Davita Galloway of Dupp&Swat, presents AdornMINT May 1–26 at Mint Museum Uptown.
The exhibition kicks off May 1 with a one-night-only cultural experience at Mint Museum Uptown celebrating the art of adornment. The event will include live demos of adornment techniques from local artists and an accompanying vendor village. “AdornMINT celebrates the unique as well as the connective/relatable elements of communities and cultures who call the Queen City home,” says Davita Galloway, curator of the exhibition. Visitors can expect to see paintings, mixed-media, fiber arts, beading and jewelry, as well as performing artists on opening night.
“AdornMINT, is truly a diverse exhibition — shining light on the myriad of ways in which various cultures and communities express themselves via body and home accents. To be frank, I’m most excited about telling the stories of the selected artists and brands — revealing histories, legacies and innovation — through a highly visual and interactive lens.”
Museum admission is free 5-9 PM May 1 as part of Free Wednesday Evenings at the Mint. All galleries will be open late.
