Mission I: Introduce talent to the Atlanta market.

Mission II: Curate a live art experience, fashion show, and pop-up shop.

Mission III: Create a vibrant ‘living room’ experience.

Approach/Execution: We filled a once glum main lobby (otherwise known as the ‘living room’) with a soulful and diverse crowd.

The evening began with a blank canvas—which Shawn filled colorfully during a live art exhibit—concluding with a surprise fashion show.

Guests had the option to purchase 1/1 pieces from the Shawn Outen collection.
