The High School of Art & Design, founded as the School of Industrial Art in 1936, is located at 1075 Second
Avenue and is New York's only public high school teaching professional art. The school's art program has been
severly affected by budget cuts enforced during the past decade. The school would very much like to restore
Theatre Arts to its curriculum.
