About Us
TheGifted Arts is a 501C3 nonprofit organization serving youth in North Carolina. TheGifted Arts provides high-quality arts education tailored to the needs of youth, with a structured, leveled curriculum that supports beginners, intermediate learners, and advanced students. Unlike many programs focused solely on technical mastery, we integrate culturally responsive practices that celebrate the traditions of Black and Brown communities while addressing systemic barriers to access and representation in the arts.
We strongly believe in the power of intention — that with racial and social justice and liberated black and brown communities, youth will magnify their personal power.
