The Arts Empowerment Project operates in the Charlotte Community to break the cycles of trauma through arts opportunities which ignite change in vulnerable youth. Our vision is to provide a community that gives every child art experiences that broaden horizons, foster resilience, and build life essential skills. We provide high quality arts programming, enrichment experiences, and social and emotional development for children in need of access to light, hope, equity and opportunity. Our location at the Visual and Performing Arts Center (VAPA) in Uptown Charlotte provides underserved children in our community a safe place to express their creativity in an environment that promotes self-acceptance, awareness, and healing.
- Over 3,000 children have participated in our programs in Charlotte which have emotional and social learning components to build essential life skills.
- In 2023, we served distributed 326 HeART packs, had cumulative attendance of 1,450 students and 83 classroom sessions across our six flagship programs.
- Our SHINE Annual Fundraiser was held on 10/16/24, but there is still time to support us by donating here:https://theartsempowermentproject.org/give-today-2/
