The Art of Elysium (TAOE), founded in 1997, is an American nonprofit organization that provides community arts programs and artist services.[1] Headquartered in Los Angeles, California, it organizes monthly workshops in fashion, film, theater, music, and visual arts for communities facing challenges, while also rendering career resources for participating volunteer artists.[1][2] In January 2016, the organization partnered with SAG-AFTRA and the American Film Institute to support President Obama's "Call to Arts" initiative to complete 1 million hours of mentorship for young artists.[3]

In February 2016, TAOE and Rabbit Bandini Productions co-launched Elysium Bandini Studios, a non-profit film studio and streaming entertainment network established to help financially support the charity.[4][5] The organization has received additional financial contributions from its fundraising initiatives.[6] The Art of Elysium has benefited 30,000 individuals annually,[7] and nurtured and supported over 2,150 artists a year[8]
