Members-Only Landmarks Show

Mint Hill Arts is excited to announce our upcoming show:

Members-Only Landmarks:
Places That Inspire

Gone Sailing – Beth Harvey

Join our inaugural Landmarks: Places That Inspire Show! This members-only exhibition celebrates the places that shape our communities, inspire our creativity, and hold a special place in our memories. We invite Mint Hill Arts members to showcase artwork inspired by landmarks, both near and far. From state parks, lakes, and scenic landscapes to historic buildings, local landmarks, and architectural treasures, we welcome a variety of artistic interpretations that capture the beauty, history,
and character of these special places.

We’re giving you a venue to have your pieces tell the story of a place worth remembering and give you the opportunity to sell them! Selected artwork will be displayed in the hallway outside the gallery, giving members an opportunity to share their work with visitors and the community.

Your pieces will be accepted ONLY if they are for sale! There is NO entry fee, NO judging, NO opening reception.
