“[At Inner-City Arts,] the environment and serious audience gave a distinct impression of being a part of something special, and a part of a community as a performer coming from the Skid Row side of town joining in with everyone else. I was made to feel very welcome and as important as any other performer from the high-end side of town.

 

Inner-City Arts is the right place to visit, support, and perform. I can’t wait to go back.”
