Each spring, The Mint Museum Auxiliary proudly presents the Room to Bloom Celebration, signature events benefitting The Mint Museum. Since its founding in 1956, the Auxiliary has contributed over $16.8 million to The Mint Museum for exhibitions, educational programs, and acquisitions for the permanent collection. Patrons and Benefactors are critical to the Auxiliary's fundraising goals which makes an even greater impact at The Mint Museum.
Rooted in a remarkable legacy of creativity and generosity, Room to Bloom continues to evolve while honoring the spirit that has made it one of Charlotte's most anticipated philanthropic celebrations. Each year, the Auxiliary creates an extraordinary experience that celebrates art, culture, and the enduring impact of giving.
As a Patron or Benefactor, you receive guaranteed tickets to each Auxiliary event, plus invitations and access to several private events, including CommenceMint and MerriMint. Benefactors will have the additional opportunity to meet the Auxiliary event speakers by attending a private luncheon for the Fall EnrichMint Forum speaker and a private dinner for the Spring Symposium speaker.
