It is our mission to enrich and strengthen local communities through quality arts-based education and outreach, while celebrating and elevating the city's creative talents through local artist residency programs.

A vital force in Atlanta’s arts community, The Creatives Project (TCP) is the city's first non-profit to support the creative class through affordable housing programs.

TCP strengthens and unites arts, education, community and commerce by creating an arts eco-system that empowers eager citizens to recognize Atlanta’s potential.

TCP accomplishes this goal by engaging fresh resources, implementing crucial and deliberate arts and culture initiatives and leading arts-based education.

TCP patrons donate subsidized housing and studio space to support our artists as they serve Atlanta’s youth and elders otherwise lacking access to creative outlets, experiences and instruction.

TCP emerged from a fundamental need to connect non-traditional resources with those systematically under represented and lacking access to outlets and platforms for creativity. TCP believes cities reach full potential when every citizen is authentically engaged in programming that unites the arts, education, community, and commerce. We challenge citizens to be the change they want to see by providing them with creative cultural opportunities to participate in our vision. TCP wishes to empower its collaborators by:

  • Facilitating and encouraging dialogue between all stakeholders

 

  • Generating a “circle of giving” model that will equip the community with tools and resources to create

 

  • Energizing and strengthening each individual to give and receive support to establish Atlanta’s sustainable arts ecosystem

 

TCP strives to change the face of our city by giving voices to those often not heard and inspiring emerging artists and underserved communities to leave a lasting impact on Atlanta.
