Program Details

Welcome to pre-registration for our summer 2026 term of Visual, Media, & Performing Arts Institutes!

Classes take place Monday-Friday, July 6-17.

Please review the important details below before completing the pre-registration form.

REGISTRATION, ENROLLMENT, AND CLASS FEES

After pre-registering online, students must come to our campus with a parent or guardian for Enrollment Day on Saturday, April 11, 11:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m., to select and enroll in classes. This step is a mandatory part of the process.

IN-PERSON CLASS ENROLLMENT TAKES PLACE ON A FIRST-COME, FIRST-SERVED BASIS. Please arrive promptly on April 11 to ensure your spot.

We collect the following payments on Enrollment Day:

A $20 nonrefundable registration fee will be due for every student.
A $250 tuition per class will be due for every student unless eligible for a tuition waiver. Documented household qualification as low income according to LA County guidelines qualifies a student for a tuition waiver at Inner-City Arts. Please see our tuition waiver requirements.

All fees will be collected during in-person enrollment. If you miss Enrollment Day, you must email programs@inner-cityarts.org or call 213.627-9621 x122 to arrange a time to come to campus to enroll (based on class availability) before the first day of class, July 6.

UNDERSTANDING OUR CLASS LEVELS

As our programs evolve, our classes will be organized into Levels I, II, and III to support meaningful artistic growth over time.

Levels are determined by a combination of:

Student age and developmental readiness
Previous experience in the art form
The learning objectives and technical demands of the course

Placement is not based on talent or comparison to others. Instead, it reflects where a student will be most supported and appropriately challenged.

Teaching artists may assess students informally throughout the term to ensure placement continues to align with their growth. In some cases, students may remain in the same level for more than one term to deepen foundational skills before advancing.

Our goal is to create a progression pathway that is inclusive, skill-building, and responsive to each learner's development.

COMPLETING THE REGISTRATION FORM

Students, if you are filling out details for yourself, awesome! Make sure you answer the pre-registration questions as yourself.
Parents, if you are filling out the form, make sure you answer the pre-registration questions as the student being registered.
Once you complete the form, you will receive an email with next steps toward completing the student's class selection and enrollment in person at Inner-City Arts.

Please note that all art classes will be taught in English.
