Mint meets a real need in Detroit. Although the city boasts numerous youth organizations, none of them focused on entrepreneurial skill-building or practical applications of the visual arts—until now. With Mint’s career-oriented, pragmatic approach, we help young artists build sustainable careers.

 

Mint is Fresh

Mint is named after the fragrant, fresh herb for its tendency to thrive and grow—just as our artists strive to flourish.

​

Mint = Earning Money

Mint was inspired by the U.S. Mint because we believe every artist deserves to earn a fair wage for their work.

MI is for Michigan

With its initial two letters, MInt honors our state of Michigan, home to talented creatives and driven entrepreneurs.   And of course, Mint grows from Michigan’s largest city Detroit. See Our Detroit images here.
