Founded in 1979, Northeast Performing Arts Group (NEPAG) is a community-based 501(c) 3 organizations that promotes youth development through the arts.  Located in the northeast sec-tion of Ward 7 in the District of Columbia, NEPAG was created to offer DC youth, primarily East of the River, an array of positive alternatives to neighborhood crime and self-destructive behavior. Northeast Performing Arts Group’s Mission is to develop and foster the creative talents of youth in the Northeast/Southeast corridors of Washington, D.C. through performing and vis-ual arts, as an alternative to street life and to teach them the invaluable lessons of discipline, commitment and team motivation. Our goals are: to promote the social and educational devel-opment of at-risk youth; to nurture  
and develop the creative spirit of youth; and to promote an appreciation for the performing and visual arts by program participants as well as neighborhood residents.
