In partnership with the Los Angeles Unified School District and local charter and parochial schools, elementary and middle school students and their classroom teachers are brought to the Inner-City Arts campus for experiential instruction in the visual and performing arts.
Twice a week, for seven-week sessions, students and teachers work with Inner-City Arts teaching artists, focusing on a specific art form—visual arts, ceramics, music, dance, drama, digital photography or animation. Culminating events, including performances and exhibitions, mark the end of each session and provide an opportunity for students to share their accomplishments with parents and families.
Inner-City Arts works with individual schools to support their learning goals for students. This work includes teacher training and workshops for parents.
All School-Day Programs are created with sequential, grade appropriate lessons, and meet State of California Visual and Performing Arts Content Standards.
Leveling the
"Learning Field"
Dear Kristy,
Thank you for teaching me not to be shy and for being kind to me. I learned to be courageous and I also learned how to be a great audience.
