Founded in 2010, the Atlanta Music Project is a non-profit organization providing more than 5,000 hours annually, of intensive, tuition-free music education for underserved youth right in their neighborhood. Now serving 350 students through eight programs, AMP provides all its students with an instrument, a teaching artist, and classes in band, orchestra and choir. In addition to four after-school learning sites, AMP’s program include: the AMP Academy, providing advanced musical training to AMP’s most talented and dedicated students; the AMP Summer Series, a music festival and school; and the new launched AMP Youth Choirs & Orchestras.

The organization had an opportunity to establish a new home inside a former grocery store. Through active engagement with the community drove the design, the new AMP Center transforms the space into to a 150-seat performance hall, 10 rehearsal rooms, and the organization’s administrative offices.
