The Young Affiliates of the Mint, in collaboration with The Mint Museum, are pleased to announce an open call for art submissions from artists hailing from the southern United States for the third installment of "Coined in the South."

Coined in the South aims to bridge the gap between museums, galleries, and studios by showcasing thought-provoking works by the emerging talents of the South. The exhibition transcends any singular aesthetic, theme, or medium, striving to mirror the rich diversity and creative spirit of the southern arts community.

Eligibility criteria: Submitted artwork should have been created within the past two years, be non-perishable, not generate excessive noise pollution, and cause no harm to living beings. Installation, video, and performance artists are strongly encouraged to apply, but should include installation and space requirement instructions, along with recordings or documentation of previous performances, if available.

Entry Fee: The entry fee is $40, and each artist can submit up to three (3) works as part of their application. The $40 fee is a one-time charge that covers three (3) submissions. Up to three (3) additional pieces can be submitted for an additional $10. A total of six (6) pieces are allowed per artist.
