No other art museum in North Carolina could say it has celebrated 80 years of history – because the Mint is the first. Thanks to the tireless efforts of founder Mary Myers Dwelle and her group of dedicated citizens, The Mint Museum opened its doors on October 22, 1936 – an event celebrated with the Mint’s members and community throughout this 2016-2017 year. Weston M. Andress In addition to being the driving force behind the founding of the museum, women provided Chair, The Mint Museum Board of Trustees exemplary leadership throughout the years as both staff and volunteer supporters. And the museum devoted its anniversary year to celebrating women artists – long a mainstay of its permanent collection – with two headlining exhibitions. Dr. Kathleen V. Jameson, President & CEO Hundreds of supporters gathered at Mint Museum Uptown for an 80th anniversary celebration on October 22, 2016, and the celebrations and programming continued throughout the year, drawing support from all corners of the global community. As one of the celebratory videos noted: “The Great Lady is turning 80 – and she’s just getting warmed up.”
