Mint Artists tent
Mint Artists sell their work at the Palmer Park Art Fair.

About five Mint Artists will set up their artwork displays and then show and sell their work at the Funky Ferndale Art Fair in downtown Ferndale. We're located right near Affirmations - and across from the Cupcake Station on W. Nine Mile Road in the middle of the art fair.

On Saturday and Sunday, we need volunteers to help sell art and greeting cards and also to booth sit and encourage the teen artists to take a break, refresh and re-engage with guests. Also: greet guests, collect donations and more.

And then on Sunday after the fair closes around 6 pm, we could use help with taking down and cleaning out the tent.

Volunteers, please specify which three-hour window of time you want to help - and whether Saturday or Sunday is better for you.

Up to two volunteers are welcome to work together.

Mission Statement

Mint Artists Guild helps to transform aspiring Detroit youth artists through education, exceptional engagement and experience, resulting in earning opportunities, skill-building, exposure, and mentoring. Mint launches creative careers and lasting connections. Mint also infuses the community with art and creative experiences, enhancing a collaborative, healthy and generous culture.

Description

Mint works with artists ages 13 to 23 on entrepreneurial, career and life skills, and gives them opportunities to sell their creative work. A summer jobs program, business workshops and online educational and informational resources are offered to young visual artists. In 2020, we launched the Metro Detroit Youth Arts Competition, a creative activity kit giveaway (of 5,500 kits) and in 2021, we launched leadership development training. This year, we are working on an alumni engagement program, adding creative jobs to our website and so much more. We need your help and support to continue our growth!
