Providing structured, engaging, and in-depth opportunities to learn and create, Inner-City Arts’ after-school programs support improved academic performance and encourage students to stay in school. Through our after-school programming, Inner-City Arts strives to bring together a diverse population of students from throughout Los Angeles to collaborate with one another through hands-on visual and performing arts programs.
Importantly, recognizing the vital role of intervention and prevention during the critical after school hours--especially for children and youth living in poor neighborhoods--Inner-City Arts serves as a safe haven for at-risk elementary, middle and high school students each weekday afternoon.
Middle and high school students also have the opportunity to enroll in our intensive, semester-long Visual-Media Arts and Performing Arts workshops designed to engage youth in discovering their ideas and seeing those ideas come to fruition in exhibition, performance and sharing with others. High School Institutes bring students together from diverse neighborhoods across the city, to learn about each other and create art together.
Through collaborations and partnerships with community organizations, arts organizations and artists, including 24th Street Theatre, Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Greater Los Angeles, Laughlinks, Inc., Para Los Niños and Say Yes!, our growing after-school program provides the benefits of experiences in the arts to thousands of neighborhood youth each year.
