Coined in the South: 2024

December 14, 2024 - April 27, 2025

Mint Museum Uptown

About

Coined in the South: 2024 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 for the 2024 Coined in the South exhibition 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.

Coined in the South is a juried biennial exhibition, created in collaboration with the Young Affiliates of the Mint (YAMs). For this year’s exhibition, nearly 1,500 works of art were submitted for review. A total of 49 artists were selected by the 2024 jurors: Marshall Price, PhD, chief curator at Nasher Museum of Art; Victoria Ramirez, PhD, executive director of Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts; and Stephanie Woods, artist and former Coined in the South participant.

This juried exhibition, presented by Young Affiliates of the Mint in collaboration with The Mint Museum, will be on view December 14, 2024 through April 27, 2025 at the Mint Museum Uptown Charlotte.
