Mint Artists Guild teaches business, career and life skills to teen visual artists. Our priorities are creativity, inclusivity, youth development and economic activity.

So buy from us at the Belle Isle Art Fair; hire us to create caricatures or a mosaic - and donate so we grow to support more teens. As you give, you launch creative careers and develop the creative future of Detroit.

Mint creative summer workers enjoy break time in Palmer Park. Help us hire more young artists. Make a monthly donation today!

“This was an amazing opportunity … Mint Artists Guild has given me the confidence I needed to take my talent seriously.” – Nur Shah, Mint Artists member in 2016
