Creating Exposure joins Culture Queens during Mint Museum Gallery Tour

CHARLOTTE NC: NOVEMBER 7, 2019 - Creating Exposure students and staff join local organization Culture Queens to tour the Mint Museum in Uptown Charlotte. Culture Queens are a minority group of women who love art in its many forms and celebrate it, appreciate it, create it. The members of Culture Queens are artists, actors, models, fashion designers, singers, dancers and entrepreneurs.

Founded by Jennifer Michelle, the Culture Queens began to change the narrative regarding minority participation in the arts community. After a visit to the Mint Museum’s “African Print Fashion Now” exhibit, Jennifer decided to start a monthly meet up, offering members of the group an opportunity to visit local museums and galleries.

To date, the Culture Queens have visited McColl Center, Harvey B. Gantt Center, Laca Projects and the Mint Museum Randolph. Bridging the gap between art and the minority community and building relationships with each institution is our goal.

Through education and inclusion, the Culture Queens are defying stereotypes.
