4 Young people paid for creative summer jobs
5 Creative business and careers workshops staged by Mint Artists
9 Young creatives who landed and/or worked gigs through Mint
10 Pop ups, events and venues where Mint Artists work appeared
19 Paint Detroit with Generosity and other paintings donated to local nonprofits
25 Paintings, prints and photographs on display at the GM Tech Center, and one mural dubbed a “pixel paper painting” created (pictured above)
37 Volunteers who contributed time to Mint, its events or workshops
115 People who signed up to receive Mint e-letters
425 Artists and students who learned about creative careers through Mint
2,271 Dollars raised in spring crowdfunding campaign

And we’re just getting started. We expect to keep growing in 2017, with your help and support as a donor, a volunteer or a patron who buys art or creative services from Mint and its artists.
