The Mint Museum

🎉 Hats off to two of the Mint's senior leaders who were recently named in Charlotte Business Journal's top executive honoree lists. Gary Blankemeyer, the Mint's chief operating/chief financial officer, leads the 2024 class of CFO of the Year honorees and will receive a Lifetime Achievement Award from CBJ. CBJ seeks to put a spotlight on the Charlotte area's brightest financial executives through the CFO of the Year Awards program. Read more about Blankemeyer here: https://lnkd.in/gy8v37hm todd herman, PhD, president and CEO of the Mint, was selected as an honoree in CBJ's Most Admired CEO awards under Arts & Culture. CBJ's Most-Admired CEO Awards program recognizes established leaders in the Charlotte region who have demonstrated a strong vision for their companies and a commitment to the community. 👏 They have a proven track record of innovation in their field, outstanding financial performance, promoting diversity in the workplace and making an impact that extends beyond the boardroom.

"The Best Museum Websites for Art Lovers" sure does have a nice ring to it! We were surprised (but not completely surprised, because it's awesome) to learn that our website was selected as one of the "16 Best Museum Websites in 2024" by Big Sea. A visual arts museum's website should be as beautiful as the objects displayed there. It wouldn't have been possible without the hard work of our incredible Marketing team and the collaboration between all of our departments. It also took the wisdom, patience, and sheer willpower of Ben Visser and the team at Social Design House. Together we created a website that radiates the Mint's mission and purpose. https://lnkd.in/eugZX4P4

🎧 Listen to Lorne Lassiter and Gary Ferraro on their collection and current exhibition "Craft Across Continents" featuring works in glass, wood, ceramics, and textiles. The final day of the exhibition is May 5th!

Here is your Wednesday hump day dose of inspiration! The Mint Museum Uptown location had the William Ivey Long Costume Design exhibit a few years back. The curator did a phenomenal job showcasing the art in an educational, yet creative way. The colors popped. The room flowed (great inspiration for UX design). Having the sketches in front of the finished work told a cohesive story effortlessly. The little details made this exhibit more than amazing. Remember you don't have to go far for something new each time. Inspiration is right in your back yard.
