Coined in the South
Through February 6, 2020. Hosted by the The Young Affiliates of the Mint, in collaboration with The Mint Museum, this is the fourth annual Coined in the South art show at Mint Museum Uptown. The title, Coined in the South, refers not only to The Mint Museum’s origins as the first branch of the United States Mint, but also to the act of inventing and/or devising.
The purpose of this show is simple: to bridge the gap between the museum, the gallery, and the studio and to showcase fresh and innovative works that have not yet been seen by a broader audience.Unconfined to any aesthetic, theme, or medium, this show seeks to be a platform for both established and emerging artists currently working in and/or from the Southeast.
For the first time, prizes are being awarded. The winner of the $10,000 Atrium Health Best in Show Award went to Johanne Barfield of Winston-Salem, NC, and the $5,000 Young Affiliates of the Mint Choice Award went to Katie St. Clair of Davidson, NC. Congratulations to both of these artists, and to all of the artists featured in the show!
