Coastal talents convene in upcoming exhibition in Bozeman, Montana
This summer, California and New York come to Montana in a series of design exhibitions titled “Where You From?” For three consecutive weekends from August 5 through August 19, the Bozeman nonprofit space Tinworks Art—which was once a steel factory—will bring together work by a who’s who of Golden and Empire State makers (among them Dan John Anderson, Ravenhill Studio, and Victoria Morris) along with pieces by local ceramic artists like Giselle Hicks, Maura Wright, and Soojin Choi. Masterminding the mix is Placed Projects curator Coryander Friend, an L.A. transplant who moved to Montana during the pandemic and has been discovering the best of Big Sky Country ever since.

Teaming up with Derrick Adams, Tiffany & Co. debuts a new social impact platform
Earlier this week, Tiffany & Co. announced the launch of Atrium, the company’s new social impact platform. Conceived as a means of cultivating and supporting talent from historically underrepresented populations in the jewelry industry, Atrium will fund initiatives including apprenticeship programs and professional opportunities for students of historically Black colleges and universities. It will also push forward the work the brand has already been pursuing in partnerships with nonprofit organizations and diverse global talent. To kick off the project, Tiffany & Co. partnered with artist Derrick Adams, who developed an artwork titled I Shine, You Shine, We Shine. Proceeds from its sale—taking place now through an Artsy auction—will go to The Last Resort Artist Retreat, a center for Black artists that Adams founded in his hometown of Baltimore.
