At Distillery of Modern Art, community is at the heart of everything we do. Our memberships with local and mission-driven organizations allow us to stay connected to the people, businesses, and causes that shape the place we call home. Through these partnerships, we don’t just grow as a business—we actively participate in strengthening the cultural and economic fabric of our region.
We’re proud members of the DeKalb County Chamber of Commerce, the Greater Perimeter Chamber, and the Brookhaven Chamber, which connect us with fellow local businesses, foster collaboration, and support responsible economic growth across our surrounding communities. These relationships help us stay engaged, informed, and invested in the future of the neighborhoods we serve. We’re also honored to be members of OutGeorgia, the LGBTQ+ Business Alliance, reflecting our ongoing commitment to inclusivity, representation, and support for LGBTQ+-owned and allied businesses.
Our commitment to community extends beyond memberships into active leadership and advocacy. Founder and owner Seth Watson serves on the board of the Chamblee Downtown Development Authority (DDA), an organization dedicated to thoughtful development, economic growth, and long-term planning in the City of Chamblee. Through this role, Seth helps ensure that small businesses, local makers, and community-focused projects have a voice as the city continues to evolve.
Seth also serves as Vice President of the Georgia Distillers Association, a statewide trade organization representing licensed distilleries across Georgia. The Association focuses on advocacy, education, and collaboration within the spirits industry, working closely with legislators, regulators, and industry partners to support responsible growth and protect the future of Georgia-made spirits.
These memberships and leadership roles reflect our belief that businesses can—and should—play an active role in the communities they serve. At Distillery of Modern Art, we’re proud to contribute our voice, our time, and our resources to organizations working toward a stronger, more inclusive future.
