The Artists-in-Communities (AIC) program offers tailored arts instruction in after-school programs, homeless shelters/housing facilities, and county community/court schools. The goal of AIC is to develop academic, social, and critical thinking skills as well as build knowledge and strengthen self-esteem.

AIC artist residencies give homeless children residing in Hamilton Family Center and St. Joseph's Family Center facilities the chance to learn and play through dance (including martial arts), theatre, creative writing, and music activities. Weekly sessions with artists help the children build crucial self-esteem, communication, and motor skills, and most of all, to express and enjoy themselves. Performances for families and Center staff celebrate the children's accomplishments.
