Research has shown that
the arts are valuable to the community because they:
- Enhance quality of life and add to the economic vitality
- Attract new residents, businesses and tourists
- Improve K-12 academic performance and increase SAT scores
- Provide programs to the under-served
The Mint Museums, in particular, have an outstanding 65+ year
history of making the Charlotte region a better place to live,
work and learn. The Mint Museums have received countless local
and national awards for our educational efforts including curriculum
development, teacher training, technology, traveling exhibitions,
student art exhibitions, publications and outreach.
Corporate members and sponsors provide
necessary funding to support annual educational programs
such as (partial list below):
- Free tours for approximately 25,000 schoolchildren
