Mint Museum Uptown

at Levine Center of the Arts

Pumped: the Art and Craft of Shoemaking showcases diverse and unique footwear from the past to the present-a true shoe lover's delight!  Drawn entirely from The Mint Museum’s permanent collection, Pumped is the first exhibition to view this collection through the lens of craft. It explores the cultural history and the meticulous craft of shoemaking featuring distinctive shoe forms that are notable for their design and construction.  Venerable traditions such as leather-working are joined by the latest materials and technologies, including 3-D printing to create shoes that are wearable sculptures. 

Voted by Art Mag as one of the best art shows of the summer!
