Building a Multi-Year Movement for Atlanta’s Westside

Atlanta’s Westside neighborhoods are rich with history and hope. Once a fixture of the civil rights movement, over time these neighborhoods have fallen prey to disinvestment, poverty, and crime. When a group of Atlanta business leaders including Chick-fil-A CEO, Dan Cathy, and Home Depot Co-founder, Arthur Blank, experienced firsthand the state of the Westside, they were compelled to act.

A Stage for Extraordinary Voices

Each year, we’ve helped shape a program that weaves community voices with world-class talent. The Beloved Benefit stage has welcomed performances and appearances from Bruno Mars, Usher, Maroon 5, John Legend, Chris Tucker, Maria Taylor, Ludacris, T.I., CeeLo Green, Emeli Sandé, Alexa Meade, and many others—each integrated with intentionality and a story-driven arc.

Crafting the Culture of the Beloved Community

From collaborating with local creators and makers to commissioning immersive art installations to reimagining communal dining with long-table style seating, we’ve infused the experience with the textures and perspectives of the Westside.

What began as the bold vision of a single event is now a multi-year movement—one that continues to bring Atlantans together across economic, racial, and societal lines.

Through every chapter of its evolution, Brand Apart has been the creative steward of the Beloved Benefit—helping shape a signature Atlanta tradition rooted in purpose, community, and belonging.

Brand Apart visualized, and produced an event, which theatrically and musically showcased Dr. King's vision of a community that comes together to support one another - the Beloved Community - with an excellence we have come to expect from Brand Apart.
