A rainy day memory. Mint Artists Journey showed up

A rainy day memory. Mint Artists Journey showed up with a smile and a purple umbrella at the MInt tent at Funky Ferndale Art Fair in 2019 and Sllopy, our creative mascot, greeted her with glee. Wear your masks and follow other pandemic protocols and we hope to see you in downtown Ferndale Sept. 24-26.

It will feature spring into summer art work including this fresh one painted by Mint summer workers Jordan and Charles a couple years ago.

Our first coloring card honors our first person to

Our first coloring card honors our first person to love. It celebrates Mom, for Mother's Day or mommy's birthday. It is based on a painting by Mint summer worker Lakiya Ealy and has a butterfly and flower to color on the back too. Available now in the Mint Shop online - and because we love Detroiters, we are donating digital versions to teachers and students in Detroit.

As spring streams in and we recruit and hire more young artists for our creative summer jobs, we want to share this collective painting made by the 2020 Mint Creative Workers. The background was painted by Mint worker Natasha Guest. It reminds us of the importance of a creative community. Enjoy!

We celebrate the women of Mint Artists Guild and the women who inspire them this month. Pictured is Mint board member and avid art collector Linda Whitaker. She finds inspiration in this quote from the late poet Maya Angelou, saying that "I utilized it often in my many roles in life as a mother, wife, school principal, art collector, mentor, friend, volunteer and most importantly a Christian." art credit: @desireekellyart

We love to give original art to other nonprofits. And Mint will donate this beautiful Paint Detroit with Generosity painting to Detroit Horse Power. It was painted by Mint summer worker Oluwaseyi Akintoroye last year. If you are a Detroit artist ages 14-21 and you want to improve your painting skills and give back in Detroit, apply to a Mint summer job this week.

We celebrate the women of Mint Artists Guild and t

We celebrate the women of Mint Artists Guild and the women who inspire them this month. Pictured is author, poet, writer, entrepreneur, leader of Timepieces Personal Biographies, and Mint supporter Stephanie Kadel Taras. She is greatly inspired by @Gwen Frostic, stating "When I think about the life I’m trying to build for myself, I often think of Gwen Frostic, a northern Michigan block print artist and author who combined an entrepreneurial sensibility with her love of nature to build a successful business. She lived where she worked, surrounded by woods and water. She created jobs for others as she developed a worldwide audience for her beautiful cards and stationery. She was also active in her community. Frostic managed lifelong physical disabilities after a childhood illness, and she kept working into her 90s, living a simple life. She left millions to her alma mater, @Western Michigan University when she died in 2001. ... I’m inspired by Gwen Frostic’s life and work and spirit." @gwenfrostic
