Material Memory: Papermaking & Bookbinding Workshop

The Creatives Project (TCP)’s mission is 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.TCP is a vital force in Atlanta’s arts community.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.
