Dove and the CROWN Coalition are proud to have partnered with MuralsDC to bring the first-ever CROWN Act-inspired mural to the Nation's Capital.

The time is now to pass the federal bill to protect against race-based hair discrimination nationwide. The message has been always been clear but never more beautiful than the artwork created by muralist and co-founder of CreativeJunkfood, Candice Taylor.

The CROWN Act mural now lives in the heart of Washington DC as part of MuralDC's 14th season of celebrating diversity and showcasing designs that uplift, educate, and empower.

Dove and the CROWN Coalition are proud to have partnered with the Arts Council to bring the first-ever CROWN Act-inspired to New Orleans!

During the wake of Hurricane Katrina, Journey Allen transferred from Southern University at New Orleans to Texas Southern University where she went on to obtain a full scholarship and graduate magna cum laude with a BA in Fine Arts. Her work with Project Row Houses, a non-profit organization in Third Ward, Houston, led to her love for community and artistry.

Although Journey's eight-year residence in Houston began as an abrupt response to seeking refuge during a natural disaster, this chapter in her life shaped her into the visual artist, arts educator, and community leader that lives a life dedicated to peace and excellence today.

​Now, through Artist Journey Allen Gallery-Studio, Journey curates a space that embodies the positive energies that have kept her grounded throughout her life...a space that continues to offer her, and those who enter into it, the perfect welcome home. Through the New Orleans venue, Journey creates, sells, and exhibits her artwork as well as hosts private and public sip and paint parties. In support of the artist's efforts to live beyond the paintbrush, Artist Journey Allen Gallery & Painting Studio serves as a platform where Journey humbly offers her creativity and space as a service to the community.
