Goorin Bros., Atlanta’s premier hat artisans, has partnered with Power Haus Creative, Atlanta’s leading Black-owned, fine and street art consultant to curate OWN your crOWN, a one of a kind art show for a dynamic cause. The art exhibition and features hand-crafted Goorin headpieces customized by nine local Atlanta artists for auction. A portion of the proceeds from this virtual auction will benefit the African Diaspora Art Museum of Atlanta (ADAMA) founded by arts scholar Dr. Fahamu Pecou. This two-week exhibition and auction link will go live internationally on Sunday, October 11, 2020 on the official Goorin Bros. website: www.goorin.com. The virtual exhibition is currently open and will close on November 7, 2020 at 12am (EDT) online.
The concept for OWN your crOWN was inspired by current events and will serve as an emblematic tip of the hat towards Atlanta’s stylistic culture of social justice through the fine arts. To “OWN your crOWN” is to literally own your worth, to be empowered and self appointed.
The featured Goorin hats will be adorned with artistic works from Dr. Fahamu Pecou, Grace Kisa, Zipporah Joel, Melissa Mitchell, C Flux Sing, Alexander John, DL Warfield, Sean Fahie, and Vek Neal. All content will be documented courtesy of Esquire Branding Agency and Steve West Photography. Each hat is intended to serve as a reminder to take agency of yourself and radiate distinction even in times of uncertainty.
