Current Call for Artists


Mint Hill Arts is excited to announce our upcoming show:

Members-Only Winners Wall Show

Join our inaugural Members-Only Winners Wall Show! There’s no need for you to break out your art supplies to create new work! We’re giving you a venue to have your winning pieces shine and give you the opportunity to sell them! Members can pull out those winners from any Mint Hill Arts show from the last 5 years, and we will select one entry to include them in our exhibit in the hallway outside our gallery. Your winning pieces will be accepted ONLY if they are for sale! There is NO entry fee, NO judging, NO opening reception. You will have a week to drop off your artwork and a week to pick them up. Artwork will be hung as it arrives.
