Inner-City Arts' Visual, Media & Performing Arts Institutes provide middle and high school students with unique after-school and weekend classes that focus on creative exploration, performance, individual and group study, and career-development support. Each class, irrespective of the art form, is led by professional teaching artists and offers a valuable opportunity for students to cultivate their artistic abilities. The Institutes present specialized, in-depth workshops that cater to students' varying levels of interest and skill in specific art forms. As the Institutes offer self-select classes, students can choose their preferred classes, thereby enabling a personalized learning experience. The classes are scheduled to take place after school hours and during weekends, although the exact duration of each class is not explicitly stated. Upon completion of the program, students will not only have a better understanding of their preferred art form, but they will also have had the opportunity to develop key skills applicable to their academic and personal life.
