21 Helmets: Bikers vs. Builders
Established in 2012, 21 Helmets successfully pioneered a harmonious fusion of creativity and motorcycling, captivating both enthusiasts and creative minds alike. With over 10 shows to its name, the initiative collaborated with industry giants like Troy Lee Designs, Airtrix and many more, transcending traditional helmet painting to become a canvas for artists alike. Notably, several designs from the past shows made their way into production, contributing to a substantial uptick in helmet sales for the collaborating companies (Bell Helmets, Icon Motosport, Biltwell). Beyond accolades, the paramount achievement lies in turning safety gear into an iconic art piece, encapsulated by the motto "Look Good, Don't Die." The show not only opened doors to motorsports for the motorcycle curious but also revolutionized the perception of helmets, making safety undeniably cool.
Every annual endeavor of ours is a bold venture to push the boundaries of influence, igniting a creative spark that resonates far and wide. Each show is curated around a theme, an effort to connect with specific groups. A memorable instance was our ode to tattoo artists, a spectacular exhibition that embarked on a nationwide journey alongside the IMS tradeshow, captivating an audience of over 150,000 nationwide. In another impactful initiative, we collaborated with the public school system, extending a lifeline of opportunity to three talented young artists through cash scholarships. A heartening highlight unfolded when two remarkable female artists claimed the top spots, affirming the power of diversity and talent.
The grand unveiling of our annual showcase takes place at The One Motorcycle Show, an event eagerly attended by 23,000 enthusiasts, marking the commencement of a dynamic exploration of art, passion, and the thrilling intersection of creativity
Through @21helmets we host a friendly competition centered around customizing motorcycle helmets and welding masks.
