Charlotte, one of America’s fastest-growing cities, is poised to welcome over 2.7 million by 2030. This burgeoning metropolis offers a vibrant mix of new businesses, restaurants, and a thriving arts scene. Its diverse population and inclusive culture make it the perfect backdrop for the Mint Museum’s mission: Art is for Everyone. The Mint Museum is North Carolina’s oldest art museum. Founded in 1936 by a visionary group of women, it operates today in two locations; Mint Museum Uptown and Mint Museum Randolph.
The key feature of the exhibit was a series of Bluefin Screens mounted in Mega Media Industrial frames, positioned adjacent to the sofas. Visitors could sit comfortably and interact with the touchscreen, exploring the journal entries of the legendary artist. Once finished, they simply rotated the screen and continued their journey through the collections.
