One student, Anthony Carrillo, states, “When I’m at Inner-City Arts, I feel like I’m in a secure place in which I am not judged and am able to be myself.” Another comment from a participant is, “I’m getting more of a sense of hope.” Founders Board Member Eric Schotz says, “That’s what I love most about art. There’s no mistake; there’s no A. It’s interpretive to the person. Inner-City Arts teaches that you can succeed at any level.”
