What do you get when you mix tattoos, live statues, cocktails, #thesavageway and a Charlotte institution? An entertaining behind-the-scenes look at the inaugural #TSWTakeover at the Mint Museum.
Mint Museum Uptown is hosting an exhibit that explores an art form we both have a huge admiration for – innovative artistic expression. The focus is on avant-garde jewelry, nail design and fashion and how all of these elements “distort the architecture of the body.” It’s a beautiful show that is sparking a conversation about art in popular culture.

We had the opportunity to attend the Mint Museum’s VIP Opening Night of Body Embellishment, on Thursday, April 9, 2015. The evening was the kickoff to this incredible art presentation featuring body augmentation & modification and a chance to rub shoulders with Charlotte’s who’s who in the art scene.

#TSWTakeover
The Mint asked #thesavageway team to take over their social media accounts (including Twitter & Instagram) for the evening to help get the word out about this unique show. Not only did we have a blast, but we watched the Mint Museum accounts grow throughout the evening and took the social engagement to the next level.

We even did a behind-the-scenes of our behind-the-scenes preview with our “Snapumentary”. (Snapumentary meaning a Snap Chat story where we detailed our evening and had a ton of fun.)
