The Arts Empowerment Project is a Charlotte-based nonprofit organization that connects children affected by violence and abuse to existing art programs in the area, with the aim of using arts opportunities to reduce trauma and break cycles of violence. Its services include linking youth to community art programs as well as offering custom classes, and the organization reports serving more than a thousand students through four flagship initiatives that focus on social and emotional skill development, self-expression, and resilience. The group operates within Mecklenburg County and collaborates with local judicial and community partners to tailor programs for vulnerable youth, addressing needs such as coping with trauma and exploring new possibilities through creative engagement. Founded as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, TAEP positions itself within the nonprofit and arts education sector, leveraging partnerships with community arts organizations to support youth who have experienced abuse and neglect. The organization is located in Charlotte, North Carolina, and maintains ongoing operations supported by individual and corporate sponsors and partner organizations. A recent emphasis reflects continued collaboration with local partners to implement multiple art-based programs that promote positive outcomes for participating youth.
