The Art of the Hat will take place Thursday and Friday, May 14-15, 2026, at Noelle Nashville. This two-day activation welcomes Genis Whylan and Anabel Blond of Why Hats, known for their handcrafted bespoke hats that reflect each customer’s individual style. There will be live demonstrations each day where attendees can watch their unique hat-finishing process, including the use of fire to complete each piece. After the demonstrations, appointments will be available to collaborate with the makers to create a signature hat.
