Artists
Artists are at the core of our work at Hi-ARTS. What unites this diverse group is that they share similar aesthetics and ideas about the transformative power of art and the importance of community. Our goal is to continuously nurture this spirit at Hi-ARTS. From a creative and artistic perspective, our artists have made Hi-ARTS the organization that it is. Below is a sample list of artists we have recently worked with.

Kevin Alicea
Kevin is a director, actor, educator, and former professional soccer player whose work centers ensemble-driven process, identity-conscious storytelling, and equitable creative practice.
During his CRITICAL BREAKS residency, Kevin will continue developing The Line, a solo play in which one performer embodies both a father and son — one a famed police officer and the other a passionate social justice advocate – as their relationship comes to a head during the shooting of an unarmed Black man. Rather than presenting a story of hero and villain, The Line centers two men trying to understand one another. The work explores the tensions between family, policing, social justice, and the ways we attempt to understand the people closest to us.
