SUMMARY:The Art of Reading: “The Trackers” in Southern/Modern
DESCRIPTION:“The Trackers” is Charles Frazier’s first book set outside the American South. However\, the story takes place in 1937\, a year shared with many of the artworks in our Southern/Modern exhibition\, with multiple connections that can be made between the book and the exhibition. \nThe story follows a young painter from Virginia who receives a federal commission to create a mural for a small-town post office in Wyoming. Similar to WPA assignments\, his mural is to be inspirational and uplifting in light of the lingering depression. \nValentine Welch\, the painter and main character\, captures the mood of the country and the difficult living conditions of some of its citizens at that time. At the same time\, he finds adventure and intrigue as he travels across the country in search of a missing painting.

SUMMARY:Opening Weekend for Coined in the South: 2024
DESCRIPTION:Enjoy free museum admission December 14 and 15 at Mint Museum Uptown for the opening celebration of Coined in the South: 2024. \nThis exhibition aims to bridge the gap between museums\, galleries\, and studios by showcasing thought-provoking works by the emerging artists living or working in the Southern United States. The name Coined in the South refers to both The Mint Museum’s origins as the first branch of the U.S. Mint\, as well as the act of inventing. Many of the works selected reflect on personal narratives and cultural histories. The exhibition transcends any singular aesthetic\, theme\, or medium\, striving to mirror the rich diversity and creative spirit of the Southern arts community. \n

They must confront the emotional and cultural pull of their ancestral Yoruba traditions. It explores themes of identity\, family\, migration\, and the complexities of cultural survival in the face of modernity. \nPresented in partnership with Independent Picture House. Wednesday Night Live is presented by Bank of America.

SUMMARY:The Art of Reading: “The Warmth of Other Suns”
DESCRIPTION:Isabel Wilkerson’s book follows three individuals\, representative of the six million Black Southerners who participated in the Great Migration to northern or western destinations. The Wall Street Journal’s review of this work states “Ms. Wilkerson does for the Great Migration what John Steinbeck did for the Okies in his fiction masterpiece\, The Grapes of Wrath.” \nAfter a conversation about Warmth\, take a docent-led tour of works in Mint Museum Uptown’s American Art\, Modern + Contemporary\, and Craft + Design collections to draw connections between this work and our art. \n“I was taking a part of the South to see \nIf it could grow differently\, \nIf it could bend in strange winds\, \nRespond to the warmth of other suns \nAnd\, perhaps\, to bloom.” – Richard Wright\, Black Boy: A Record of Childhood and Youth (poem edited for effect)
