CHARLOTTE, NC
EMPOWERING YOUTH THROUGH CREATIVE ARTS
We provide disadvantaged youth with media production skills, mentorship, and pathways toward innovative career opportunities.
OUR STORY
CREATIVITY EVOLVED. COMMUNITY ROOTS.
Our work began in 2021 through Creativity Evolved, a media production studio rooted in Charlotte's creative community. Since then, we have expanded our reach through creative programming, workshops, and community initiatives that center youth development and creative expression.
The Creative Cornerstone nonprofit was established to deepen this commitment and ensure long-term access to creative education for youth.
