PROJECT G.O.A.T.

Project G.O.A.T. is an art-based awareness and fundraising campaign representing the Global Offensive Against Trafficking. It made its debut June 2019 in Houston, Texas, where the first GOAT, sculpted and cast by artist Scott Joseph Moore of Moore Art Expressions, was painted as a tribute to the inaugural members of the Houston Astros Hall of Fame. Sixteen of the Greatest Of All Time Astros were depicted, the piece raised $15,000 at auction, and was later exhibited at the opening of the Astros Hall of Fame.

Throughout the second half of 2019 through early 2020, 50 GOATS will be cast by Moore and painted by numerous prominent and emerging artists. Some artists will choose to portray an image that more directly reflects the human trafficking crisis, while others will create “fan art” pieces that will generate significant awareness and donations for the Foundation and its efforts to eradicate Human Trafficking and the Sexual Exploitation of Children.

On February 29th and March 1st 2020, the first 50 completed GOATs will be installed at the 50th Anniversary Gasparilla Festival of the Arts in Downtown Tampa, Florida. Following that exhibition, and for the remainder of 2020, those initial GOATs will be sponsored and displayed by businesses and individuals throughout the Tampa Bay area, while the final 5 GOATs will be cast and painted. All this will lead to the Project GOAT Gala on Saturday, February 26th–Super Bowl Weekend in Tampa–where all 55 GOATs will be on display and auctioned, with funds going to organizations on the front lines of the fight against human trafficking and sexual exploitation of children!
