This year’s commemorative Loft Tour T-shirt features an original design inspired by Black Girl Beautiful, one of Castleberry Hill’s most recognized public artworks. The mural was created through a collaboration between artist Faatimah Stevens and creative entrepreneur Nikia Phoenix, whose Black Girl Beautiful movement celebrates confidence, culture, creativity, and community.
The artwork has become a neighborhood landmark and a powerful expression of beauty, representation, and belonging in Castleberry Hill. We are honored to celebrate the contributions of both artists through this year’s Loft Tour commemorative T-shirt.
