Program accomplishments

• FOR THE MAJORITY OF FY25, THE MINT MUSEUM CONTINUED ITS CORE ACTIVITIES, INCLUDING EXPANDING ITS PERMANENT COLLECTIONS THROUGH IMPORTANT ACQUISITIONS; LAUNCHING NEW EXHIBITIONS COMPRISING WORKS FROM THE PERMANENT COLLECTIONS AND ON LOAN; ENGAGING VISITORS OF ALL AGES AND BACKGROUNDS THROUGH EDUCATION AND OUTREACH INITIATIVES; AND IMPLEMENTING NEW COMMUNICATION STRATEGIES, TECHNOLOGIES, AND METHODS TO REACH AND ENGAGE NEW AUDIENCES. THE MUSEUM PRESENTED AN EXCITING ROSTER OF MAJOR MINT ORGANIZED AND SPECIAL LOAN EXHIBITIONS IN FY25:WHITFIELD LOVELL: PASSAGES WAS THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE EXHIBITION OF THE ARTIST'S WORK TO DATE. WHITFIELD LOVELL IS RENOWNED FOR HIS MASTERFUL CONTE CRAYON PORTRAITS AND MULTI-SENSORY INSTALLATIONS THAT FOCUS ON ASPECTS OF AFRICAN AMERICAN HISTORY, WHILE RAISING UNIVERSAL QUESTIONS ABOUT IDENTITY, MEMORY, AND AMERICA'S COLLECTIVE HERITAGE. ORGANIZED BY THE AMERICAN FEDERATION OF ARTS, IT BROUGHT TOGETHER, FOR THE FIRST TIME, TWO OF LOVELL'S MAJOR INSTALLATIONS, DEEP RIVER AND VISITATION: THE RICHMOND PROJECT. PHOTOGRAPHS OF AFRICAN AMERICANS TAKEN BETWEEN THE EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION AND THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT INSPIRED HIS EXQUISITE DRAWINGS CREATED ON PAPER OR, AS PART OF HIS TABLEAUX, RENDERED ON SALVAGED WOODEN BOARDS.SOUTHERN/MODERN ORGANIZED BY THE MINT MUSEUM WAS THE FIRST EXHIBITION TO PROVIDE A COMPREHENSIVE SURVEY OF PROGRESSIVE ART CREATED IN THE AMERICAN SOUTH DURING THE FIRST HALF OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY. THE EXHIBITION TOOK A BROAD VIEW OF THE SOUTH, CONSIDERING ARTISTS WORKING IN THE STATES BELOW THE MASON-DIXON LINE AND AS FAR WEST AS THOSE BORDERING THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER. IT ALSO EXAMINED THE SIGNIFICANT ROLE PLAYED BY WOMEN ARTISTS AND ARTISTS OF COLOR INTO THE VARIOUS THEMATIC SECTIONS OF THE EXHIBITION RATHER THAN EXAMINING THEM IN ISOLATION, PROVIDING A FULLER, RICHER, AND MORE ACCURATE OVERVIEW OF THE ARTISTIC ACTIVITY IN THE REGION THAN HAS BEEN PREVIOUSLY PRESENTED. THE MINT ONCE AGAIN PARTNERED WITH ITS AFFILIATE GROUP, THE YOUNG AFFILIATES OF THE MINT, TO PRESENT COINED IN THE SOUTH. THIS JURIED SHOW CONTINUES TO BRIDGE THE GAP BETWEEN THE MUSEUM, THE GALLERY, AND THE STUDIO BY HIGHLIGHTING THOUGHT-PROVOKING WORKS PRODUCED BY CONTEMPORARY SOUTHEASTERN ARTISTS AND INNOVATORS.FINALLY, ANNIE LEIBOVITZ / WORK INTRODUCED AN EXCITING AND DIVERSE BODY OF NEW WORK IN THIS MAJOR TRAVELING EXHIBITION ORGANIZED BY THE CRYSTAL BRIDGES MUSEUM OF AMERICAN ART. IN 1973, AT THE AGE OF 23, LEIBOVITZ WAS NAMED ROLLING STONE MAGAZINE'S CHIEF PHOTOGRAPHER. IN 2000 SHE WAS DESIGNATED A LIBRARY OF CONGRESS LIVING LEGEND. FOR THESE NEW IMAGES, LEIBOVITZ TURNED HER LENS TOWARD MORE THAN 50 LEADERS IN THE ARTS, SPORTS, POLITICS, AND BUSINESS SPHERES TO SHINE A LIGHT ON LUMINARIES SUCH AS BEYONCE AND JAY Z, ELON MUSK, KETANJI BROWN JACKSON, YAYOI KUSAMA, AND OTHERS. PRESENTED VIA LARGE FORMAT DIGITAL DISPLAYS, THESE WORKS WERE ACCOMPANIED BY PERSPECTIVES FROM THE SITTERS. ADDITIONALLY, THE MINT CONTINUES TO PRESENT ITS CONSTELLATIONCLT SERIES.

THE MINT ACTIVELY ENGAGES LOCAL COMMUNITIES, ARTISTS, ART-EDUCATORS, AND ORGANIZATIONS IN ITS REGULAR PROGRAMMING; AND THOUGHTFULLY REACHES DIVERSE AUDIENCES AND POPULATIONS THROUGH GRASSROOTS EFFORTS LED BY PARTNERING COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS AND LEADERS.
