The Tiffany Atrium logo was derived from an original artwork designed by American visual artist Derrick Adams for the launch of Tiffany Atrium. Online art marketplace Artsy will auction the artwork July 27 - August 10, with 100% of proceeds benefiting The Last Resort Artist Retreat, an artist residency founded by Adams in his hometown of Baltimore, Maryland, to provide healing and restoration for Black artists and cultural workers.

Tiffany & Co. will launch new programming under the education pillar in the fall to support the long-term development of students and institutions. The following programs are scheduled for the near future:

•​Tiffany & Co. Apprenticeship Programs: Eight apprentices will be identified through LVMH’s Métiers d’Excellence Institute (ME Institute) & New York State Craft Apprentice Program for a two-year rotational program at the House’s core facilities. Recruitment will focus on diverse, historically underrepresented communities to create opportunity and build an inclusive pipeline of talent.

•​Tiffany & Co. and HBCUs:  Educational and professional opportunities will be created for students in the creative arts and communications fields at select Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), including:

  • $2M pledge for the About Love Scholarship Program in partnership with the Shawn Carter Foundation and BeyGOOD.

  • Partnership with Harlem’s Fashion Row in support of the HFR ICON 360 HBCU Summit at North Carolina A&T University, which strives to transform art and fashion programs at HBCUs across North America.

In addition, as a part of Atrium's community pillar, Tiffany & Co. will focus on connecting employees, students and nonprofit leaders to grow and celebrate shared values and commitment to improving the world we live in. Tiffany Atrium will continue to partner with non-profit organizations, including Free Arts, Ali Forney Center and Lower East Side Girls Club, throughout the year.

Tiffany Atrium will continue building upon significant partnerships and investments with global creatives and institutions that will advance opportunities for underrepresented communities. In recognition of its responsibility to the future, Tiffany is committed to building a more equitable and inclusive industry.
