About this Organization

Established in 1995, Joe’s Movement Emporium is a cultural arts hub that acts as a catalyst for creativity and economic opportunity. Based in Mount Rainier, Maryland in the Prince George’s Gateway Arts District, Joe’s serves more than 70,000 visitors annually. Joe’s has five arts-based youth programs that bridge the creative divide between under-resourced families and those with means. Through programs and productions in education, performing arts, and work readiness, Joe’s integrates progressive education, creativity, and youth development. Joe’s offers a wide variety of high-quality programming in the arts to celebrate the creativity of our young people, particularly those from underserved communities. Current major youth education initiatives at Joe’s Movement Emporium include the CreativeWorks (workforce development program), Camp Joe’s (spring break and summer extended learning), Club Joe’s (after school arts program), Partnering Artists with Classroom Teachers (arts integration program), and The Ability Project (adaptive dance program for special education). https://www.joesmovement.org/
