Tupac Amaru Shakur Center for the Arts

Tupac Amaru Shakur Center for the Arts, Arts education center in Stone Mountain, Georgia

The Tupac Amaru Shakur Center for the Arts was a performing arts center off Memorial Drive in Stone Mountain, Georgia, supported by the Shakur Family Foundation. Its grounds held a Peace Garden and visitor center opened on June 11, 2005, and a building whose dark upper facade carried the center's sign above a tan brick lower wall with small rectangular windows and a glass storefront.

Afeni Shakur founded the center in 1997 to preserve her son Tupac's legacy, offering arts training to young people, some facing poverty. The first summer performing arts camp opened in July 1999 with twenty campers. A Peace Garden and visitor center opened on June 11, 2005. In August 2015 Afeni Shakur sold the property for $1.2 million; she died on May 2, 2016.

The center's name honors rapper Tupac Amaru Shakur, and its programs were run through the Shakur Family Foundation. From 2009 it hosted birthday concert celebrations for him, and it set up cross-cultural exchanges with Japan and South Africa, including a link with the Nelson Mandela Foundation after Afeni Shakur's 2006 trip to Africa.

The center is no longer operating and is not available for visits. However, visitors can explore the surrounding area and the town of Stone Mountain to learn more about the local region.

The Peace Garden and visitor center opened on June 11, 2005, as a tribute to Tupac Shakur and to others who have died. In 2006 the music video for the single "Pac's Life" was filmed on location at the center. The property off Memorial Drive was sold in August 2015 for $1.2 million.
