Today is Independent Artist Day™. At Minted, we’ve built our business around a simple belief: human creativity matters. As technology and AI continue to reshape how work is created and discovered, that belief has only become more important. The most meaningful design comes from lived experience, perspective, and a point of view that can’t be replicated. It’s what people choose to mark their weddings, holidays, and milestones. Our role is to help those voices reach more people. Through our marketplace, more than 20,000 independent artists around the world share their work with millions of consumers. Data and machine learning help surface emerging trends, elevate great design, and create more opportunity. Today, we’re proud to celebrate the artists behind it all!
Minted is now on @Faire, bringing independent artists to independent retailers. At Minted, we began with a simple belief: independent designers and artists can compete with the biggest brands when given the right platform. With our launch on Faire, we’re extending that mission to independent retailers. Starting with greeting cards, Minted products will soon be available in local boutiques, gift shops, flower shops, spas, museum stores, and more. Independent retailers are creative entrepreneurs who shape the soul of our neighborhoods. They’re a natural match for our community of artists—both driven by unique perspectives that challenge convention. By joining Faire, we’re: • Empowering independence: Connecting 16,000+ artists with 700,000+ retailers who value originality • Leveling the playing field: Giving local shops access to world-class design • Supporting a creative economy: Ensuring purchases directly benefit independent artists We’re proud to partner with Faire to champion a future where independent creators and businesses can thrive. #Minted #Faire #IndependentRetail #IndependentArtists #Wholesale #SmallBusiness #CreativeEconomy #LevelThePlayingField
We’re still feeling the glow from our sixth Camp Minted, which took place last month in Nashville, Tennessee! Camp Minted is the physical manifestation of Minted’s talented and diverse artist community. We gathered for an intimate three-day event to collaborate, connect, take workshops, and exchange feedback and inspiration. We also let our hair down with an evening of Rhinestone Cowgirl Bingo, as well as our annual Community Awards and a dance party with a live band. 🤠✨ Thank you to all of our artists who came from far and wide to make Camp Minted such a special creative retreat. We wouldn’t be where we are today without your talent, your energy, and your community spirit. photography: @shannonhillyardphoto
What an incredible way to wrap up the holiday season! Last week, we gathered for a our annual holiday party in San Francisco. It wasn’t just a celebration of the season, but a celebration of the extraordinary milestones we achieved together this past Q4. Being able to celebrate these wins with our employees and leaders made the night even more special. Behind every data point and successful launch is a group of passionate people who worked tirelessly to make this season a success for our customers and our artist community.
The best part of the holiday season at Minted? Seeing our own team bring our designs to life. There is something special about walking past our team’s desks this time of year. From shimmering foil-pressed details to classic letterpress designs, seeing our employees choose their favorites from our assortment makes the holiday season that much more special. 🎄💌 ✨ Wishing our community of employees, artists, customers, and partners a beautiful and design-filled holiday season!
Last week at Minted was Giving Week, a week dedicated to spreading gratitude and making a difference in our communities. This year, Minties across the country came together, both in-person and remotely, to support two incredible causes: - Letters of Gratitude for Military Families: In partnership with our veterans Employee Resource Group and @Operation Care & Comfort, Minties penned heartfelt letters to the children of deployed servicemen and women using Minted stationery. This initiative helped provide an extra layer of support and holiday cheer to families during a challenging time. 💌 📝 -Holiday Donation Drive with @Family Giving Tree: We were proud to once again partner with the Family Giving Tree to bring holiday joy to children and families in need. Our donation drive encouraged individual and departmental participation to collect essential gifts. 🎄💝 We are proud of the enthusiasm and generosity displayed by our entire team!
✨ Surprise in Paris! 🇫🇷 Our Minted Artist Community got a special dose of holiday magic this year. What started as a casual artist meetup — thoughtfully organized by Senior Manager of Artist Relations, Brianne Sherman, and hosted by our Paris-based Art Editor, Claire Abbiyesuku — turned into a heartwarming surprise reveal for our annual Holiday Card Winner! Artists gathered at Claire’s home to connect, share inspiration, and celebrate creativity — unaware that the big holiday announcement was about to unfold (though a few had their suspicions 👀). Moments like these remind us what makes the Minted community so special: creativity, connection, and a shared passion for design. Watch the full surprise and artist reactions in the video here and join us in congratulating Leia Matt with her winning design, Woodland Papercut. 🎄🪴
Minted hosted our first-ever Do Good Day! 💚 Our team came together to give back alongside Project Glimmer, whose mission is to empower girls to envision a brighter future. Bay Area employees volunteered on-site sorting donations, while remote teammates joined in from across the country—wrapping “Boxing Joy” kits in Kansas City, Phoenix, LA, and beyond. We’re grateful to Project Glimmer for the opportunity to support such an inspiring cause, and to Minted artist Carrie O’Neal for designing our volunteer tees. Already excited for the next Do Good Day! #MintedDoGoodDay #ProjectGlimmer #DoGoodBeKind
