About AGC
WE ARE FULLY COMMITTED TO
Our Mission
The mission of Amazing Grace Conservatory is to train and develop emerging artists & at risk youth in the performing and digital arts by offering a well-rounded and culturally enriching, educational program in an environment that is nurturing for their personal, artistic and professional growth.
In 1997, Amazing Grace Conservatory (AGC) was born out of the passion for the arts and the love for children by co-founders, the late Mr. Tracy Lamar Coley and Artistic Director Wendy Raquel Robinson. Growing up in inner cities, Atlanta and L.A., these artists experienced firsthand the socioeconomic disadvantages that face African-American and Hispanic children and realized the need to cultivate, nurture and bring the arts back to the community. Twenty plus years later, AGC has grown from a small dream with 75 initial students to serving more than 500 students annually, and thousands since its inception.
