This year’s staff art exhibition, titled Origin, centers on staff origins — ancestry, race, and the beginning of existence. It symbolizes a rise, a commencement, and the source from which something derives its being or nature.
In addition to physical works of art created by Mint staff, Origin hosts an innovative digital component that complements the works on view. The dynamic display features items relevant to the origins and ancestry of Mint staff, including photos, family records, and various memorabilia. Each item will have an accompanying description of what it is and why it is important to the individual’s roots. The Mint Museum collaborated with Charlotte-based digital artist Alexander Newman Hall to create the interactive experience.
Origin will be on view through September 29 in the STAR Gallery, Level M, at Mint Museum Uptown.
