Actually they provide arts workshops for hospitalized children and the elderly
Actors who volunteer to teach arts to or perform for/with hospitalized children and the elderly
Their programs are for:
It's fake only in that you are lying about what they do. If you have evidence they are not doing what they claim, you can file a Form 13909 with the IRS. For those who what to know exactly what Art of Elysium reports to the IRS and how they represent themselves, you can go here

You seem to suffering under the illusion that you can't have a non profit, tax exempt organization set up for the arts. This is incorrect.
Here is the list of types of Arts Programs can be tax exempt.
Art of Elysium is both a A90 and an A25
Before flinging around charges, you should learn about Arts organizations that are 501 c3's http://www.taxexemptsolutions.com/qualifying-for-501c3-status-as-an-arts-organization/

I challenge you to go through Elysium's tax returns for the last four years and SHOW where ANY money has gone to needy children:

So why parade children with disabilities if it's really an 'arts' organisation? That's the hypocrisy of The Art of Elysium. There'd be no problem if it were honest, and say that it collected donations for the arts. Instead, it muddies the waters and leads people to believe that they give money to needy children, which they don't do.
If Elysium is transparent (which it isn't) and honest, why doesn't it 'honour' 'arts' people? Why do they ride on the coat tails of people who are perceived to donate to needy causes eg Amber Heard?
Go through its Instagram and other social media outlets, there's nothing about giving it needy kids (because it doesn't); it's all about glamorous gala events with B-list celebs. There's a lot of self-congratulations but not much else.
lmao. Again, I challenge you to show where ONE CENT went to any of the above.
This is Elysium admitting that they don't spend any money on children, but simply enlist 'volunteers' to do some outreach work with children:
Not only does Elysium NOT give any of its money to needy children, but only 66 per cent goes to its arts programs. Check out those tax returns and see the hefty pay packet that founder Jennifer Howell gives herself. Elysium provides no audited financials prepared by independent accountant. It scores a meagre two out of four for transparency, and financial accountability and transparency. https://www.charitynavigator.org/index.cfm?bay=search.summary&orgid=16584

You can look at their 990's and find out what they do and where they spend their money. In 2016, they spent 742,184 on the following
You still don't understand a single thing about them.
They put on arts programs in hospitals for children with disabilities. Among other things. Kids act in plays alongside real actors or learn music or comedy.
So then you can go and see if there is evidence of them doing what they claim to do. I can find evidence that they have done programs in Mount Sinai Hospital, Children's Hospital in LA, the Epilepsy Foundation, Kaiser Permanente UCLA-Santa Monica, Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, City of Hope, We Can Pediatric Brain Tumor Network, Totally Kids Specialty Healthcare and LAC USC Medical Center.
You can find lots of info from volunteers http://adamcarolla.com/chla/ https://youtu.be/4vloMnwOgnY?t=23 http://www.chicmamala.com/post/89332902721/art-of-elysium-ideal-happiness
The website for LA County said they run 100 workshops a month in hospitals and schools.
