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.
