Our Advisory Board boasts the names of important and significant members of the international Arts community.

We partner with the Town of North Hempstead to offer you a beautiful, modern and well-kept facility with studios, classrooms, a theatre, a gallery, and a public meeting space for special events. All this is available to you and your family so that you can enjoy gallery exhibits, live performances, programs of all kinds, and our weekly film series, presented in Great Neck and Port Washington as the Furman Film Series and as the Elliman Film Series, thanks to a sustaining sponsorship from Douglas Elliman. We want to ensure that your family’s journey through the Arts is enriching, smooth and easily accessible.

As you read through our course offerings, you should know that our work is the result of training and affiliations we have achieved with the Kennedy Center in Washington DC, and the National Gallery of Art; Long Island University; and a variety of school districts in the region.
