Inner-City Arts
Inner-City Arts is a learning oasis in the heart of Los Angeles’ Skid Row where professional artists teach students in a real studio environment. Founded in 1989, Inner-City Arts works in partnership with the LAUSD to provide instruction in visual arts, dance, drama, music, ceramics and animation. National, long-term research proves that students who attend Inner-City Arts’ classes show dramatic increases in statewide standardized test scores in math, reading and English proficiency. Since its inception, Inner-City Arts has served 150,000 of the city’s most at-risk children at no cost to the students.
