Inaugural Gift: The Founder's Circle Collection

This catalog is published in connection with the exhibition An Inaugural Gift: The Founders' Circle Collection organized by the Mint Museum of Craft + Design February 26 through September 17th, 2000.

An Inaugural Gift: The Founders' Circle Collection records an unparalleled period of giving associated with the debut of the Mint Museum of Craft + Design. Throughout the two years of research and planning, travel, and organization, Founders' Circle members have been the life's blood of this project, indeed its inspiration! With their involvement, the museum's collection has flourished in all media, especially in the areas of fiber, metal, and glass.
