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. OUR VISION 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 stakeholdersGenerating a “circle of giving” model that will equip the community with tools and resources to createEnergizing and strengthening each individual to give and receive support to establish Atlanta’s sustainable arts ecosystemTCP 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.
