Our second art-full gala moves to Palmer Woods, where a judge who is an artist and an attorney who is a serious collector will host our party with a purpose on Oct. 19. This beautiful event features fine wine and food, fabulous music by jazz guitarist A. Spencer Barefield and violinist Jannina North, lots of art – and some surprises. Our silent auction gives guests the opportunity to take home art by professional artists and our emerging artists.

Mint is partnering with Art Road, another Detroit area nonprofit, to create original art in Edison Elementary School in Detroit Mint Artists will create a painting backdrop on the theme ‘Detroit is” and work with the kids to create a collage of photos and other elements. Some of the work may be featured at Mercedes Benz Financial Services regional offices in May. This is what Mint likes – the win-win-win arrangement, and a beautiful and fun one too.
Join us Thursday for our fall opening. And if you know a worthy nonprofit in Detroit or nearby, consider nominating a nonprofit to receive a made-in-Detroit painting from Mint Artists.

Mint Artists Guild is honored to partner with several nonprofit organizations on our current “beautiful win, win, win fundraiser.” Among them are Downtown Boxing Gym Youth Programs and Coalition on Temporary Shelter, or COTS, which helps families facing homelessness in Detroit. If we meet or approach our campaign goal, we will donate at least 25 paintings to 25 local charities – including these two beauties!
