Dear Mint Museum member:
We’re thrilled to bring you highlights of the exciting classes, family programs, films, lectures, and events planned for the New Year! Be sure to keep this booklet handy for everything you’ll need to know about the educational, inspirational, and artistic opportunities at the Mint this winter and spring.
Exceptional exhibitions and community partnerships will bring international artists and architects to the Mint in 2012. The popular ArtFusion series continues its innovative, cross-disciplinary blend of programs, along with Curator Tours, artists’ demonstrations and discussions, Surrealist films, and unique performances. Drop-in family programs at each museum location offer more fun for all ages.
Painting, drawing, clay, metals, and jewelry classes are offered for adults in 2012, and children and teens have a variety of media experiences to choose from, too. The popular Mini-Master Art Workshops return for children ages three to six, and homeschoolers will find some special classes just for them.
We encourage you to sign up early and often! Please don’t hesitate to call or email me with any questions. Thank you for your commitment to the Mint – we look forward to seeing you soon! For details and information on all listings, visit mintmuseum.org.
