Joshua Mintz (b. New Orleans, LA) is a sculptor making handmade miniatures and sculptural almanacs. His work utilizes portraiture and storytelling by exploring the nooks and crannies of feeling human. Through his shifts in scale, medium, and narrative structures, he challenges boundaries such as fiction: reality, spectator:participant, presentation:representation within his intimate mise-en-scenes.  

Mintz received his Bachelors of Art from Rhodes College in 2015 and his Masters of Fine Arts from the San Francisco Art Institute in 2019. He has shown nationally in Memphis, New Orleans, New Hampshire, New Jersey, San Francisco, Sacramento, and Texas. In 2022, Joshua was awarded The Helis Foundation prize for Best in Show in the Ogden Museum of Southern Art’s Louisiana Contemporary, curated by Valerie Cassel Oliver. Additionally he has been artist-in-residence at Joan Mitchell Foundation (New Orleans, LA). He currently lives and works out of New Orleans.
