Inner City Arts

The completion of Phase II allows Inner City Arts to serve over 10,000 at-risk youth from Los Angeles public schools each year. This one-acre campus built in multiple phases was conceived as a contemporary open air village of stucco, concrete, paint and glass connected by a landscape of palm trees, native plants and rocks. Phase II added a new Visual Arts Building housing a larger studio space for dance, drama and music classes, a kitchen, a wood shop and animation studios. The project consisted of the complete structural rehabilitation of a single-story masonry building with a rooftop parking deck. This new facility doubled the program space of the campus and was constructed while school was underway.
