About The Brainiac Project Inc.
The Brainiac Project Inc. (TBP) is a Chicago-Based program founded by Naledge Evans in 2012 in partnership with Little Black Pearl Art and Design High School. Now Located In a Recording Studio in the Auburn Gresham neighborhood of Chicago, The Brainiac Project Inc. is an organization whose mission is to promote recording arts careers to at-risk youth and Young Adults via workshops, mentorship opportunities, educational support and providing access to recording studio experience. TBP encourages these youth to participate in civic engagement thereby promoting positive youth development. Youth participants gain social competence, self confidence, identity formation, character building, and positive connection to peers, mentors and community.
Our recording studio aims to help the revitalization of a disadvantaged neighborhood through combining urban planning and urban art practices. The studio helps combat violence in Chicago by Providing a safe Haven, engaging previous perpetrators & potential victims and serving as a beacon of hope and network of influence for Chicago youth who would otherwise not have access to a professional work resources.
The Brainiac Project has three main initiatives:
-Artist in Residence Program
-Open Sessions (Studio Experiences)
-Brainiac Professional Development (Songwriter Workshops and In-Studio Speaker Series)
