Harlem School of the Arts FY2014 Annual Report

ANNUAL REPORT 2013-14

TO OUR FRIENDS Dear Friends, Thank you for taking this opportunity to learn more about Harlem School of the Arts (HSA). As one of this nation’s most valued and vibrant arts institutions, we provide ACCESS to superior arts training FOR ALL CHILDREN, whether they are inspired to come through our doors for in-depth after-school arts programs, or are enriched by the quality of our arts curriculum in their schools. HSA is open to all – regardless of income.

Since 2011, HSA has worked to develop and execute a five-year, capacity-building strategic plan with vigorous public support from the Harlem community, City of New York, Ford Foundation, and other major stakeholders. Now in its fourth year, this plan has allowed us to operate responsibly – within our financial means – while continuing to extend our mission to meet the growing needs of the children we serve across the greater New York City metropolitan area. Our accomplishments during this time have been transformative: we’ve restored and increased our scholarship endowment; recruited an entirely new board of 20 dedicated and engaged civic leaders; and provided quality arts training for 35% more children both on-site at HSA’s Herb Alpert Center and in NYC public schools. None of this would have been possible without extraordinary leadership support from the legendary musician and philanthropist Herb Alpert, in honor of whom we renamed our Harlem home.

In 2013-14 (FY14), HSA offered nearly 4,000 students a diverse array of quality artistic programming in four distinct art disciplines: Music, Dance, Theatre and Visual Arts. Among the year’s successes and milestones: • HSA awarded $408,000 in financial aid and merit-based scholarships, eliminating any financial barriers to quality arts education for 100% of our eligible families for the second consecutive year.

• The income of our annual fundraiser more than tripled, with over $750,000 raised as we honored Lawrence Fishburne & Gina Torres, Ford Foundation, and Christopher & Janice Savin Williams.

• Our graduating seniors earned a 100% acceptance rate to universities and colleges on full and/or partial scholarships in both 2013 and 2014.

• Student enrollment increased to serve 1,046 children at the Herb Alpert Center through both our summer camp and on-site classes.

As you read through Harlem School of the Arts’ 2013-14 Annual Report, we invite you to share in our successes because they are your successes. We are protecting the future of the arts for every child – today and into the future. This is a great time to be a part of the HSA family. Join parents, students, alumni, friends and donors, and discover why a future in the arts begins here!

Sincerely,

Yvette L. Campbell President & CEO

Charles J. Hamilton, Jr. Esq. Chairman

A FUTURE IN THE ARTS BEGINS HERE THE VISION Harlem School of the Arts envisions a world where ALL children have access to a quality arts education, empowering them to become the creative thinkers and innovative leaders of tomorrow.

THE MISSION Harlem School of the Arts enriches the lives of young people and their families through world-class training in and exposure to the arts across multiple disciplines in an environment that emphasizes rigorous training, stimulates creativity, builds self-confidence, and adds a dimension of beauty to their lives.

THE MISSION IN ACTION Harlem School of the Arts stands apart among the premier arts institutions in New York City as the sole provider of quality arts education in four different disciplines: Music, Dance, Theatre and Visual Arts.

HSA enriches the lives of young people and their families in Harlem and the Greater New York City area by providing: unrivaled on-site arts instruction; vital outreach partnerships with New York City schools; quality performances and exhibitions that attract diverse audiences to its dynamic cultural arts facility; and prominent guest artists who actively engage the school’s community in the creative process through workshops and master classes.

| ANNUAL REPORT 2013-14 | HARLEM SCHOOL OF THE ARTS

Through these enriching activities, HSA creates opportunities for both children and adults to fully experience the benefits that the arts can bring to their lives.

THE RESULTS HSA is a family-focused anchor in the heart of the Harlem community. Its vital programs fulfill the need for arts training and programming, youth development, and community-building among the racially, socially, and economically-diverse populations that live side-by-side throughout Harlem, greater New York City, and the Tri-State area.

Harlem School of the Arts is committed to empowering young people across a diverse cultural and socio-economic spectrum. Despite state and city requirements that make arts education a mandatory part of the curriculum, many schools have no arts programs. HSA is the only arts resource for many of the children it serves.

Equal focus is given to both students who demonstrate exceptional artistic potential, and those who simply enjoy creating art. HSA believes that sustained quality arts training enables children to become confident and creative thinkers – no matter what profession they eventually choose – and effective global citizens.

A LEGACY OF EXCELLENCE & INSPIRATION

In 1964, internationally acclaimed concert soprano Dorothy Maynor, brought a gift to Harlem: her fervent belief that world-class training in the arts stimulates the child, strengthens the family and gives pride of ownership to a community. She opened Harlem School of the Arts in the basement of the St. James Presbyterian Church in Harlem at a time when the community suffered severe physical blight, high levels of poverty, and few cultural resources for its young people. From toddlers to adults, the students who came through its doors developed an invaluable sense of purpose and focus, whether or not they pursued professional careers in the arts.

Harlem School of the Arts, at the newly named Herb Alpert Center, is thriving. It annually serves approximately 4,000 young people from across the greater New York Metro area. From its humble beginnings with 20 children taking piano lessons in the basement of St. James Presbyterian Church, HSA has blossomed into an extraordinary cultural institution that has served more than 50,000 students over the last 49 years, many of whom directly credit Harlem School of the Arts for having changed their lives.

“The turnaround of the Harlem School of the Arts has been astonishing. The faculty, staff and Board have fulfilled their commitment to restoring a dynamic, fiscally responsible school. It’s beautiful to see how the array of multi-disciplinary classes open doors of opportunity to the students, who are thriving on self-expression, training and performance in the arts. The students come for the arts education but, at HSA, they also get to participate in an exceptional arts community.”

– Rona Sebastian, President, The Herb Alpert Foundation

TODAY AT HSA

In May of 1979, under the leadership of Maynor’s handpicked successor, legendary opera singer Betty Allen, HSA opened its state-of-the-art 37,000 square foot, award-winning facility nestled at the base of historic Hamilton Heights. Along with the Studio Museum in Harlem, Dance Theatre of Harlem, The Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, and the Apollo Theater, HSA became one of the pioneering cultural institutions whose robust presence uptown became a linchpin of Harlem’s renewal.

WHO IS SERVED

OFF-SITE OUTREACH IN SCHOOLS HSA’s Educational Outreach Program brings the arts into New York City public and charter schools, as well as community organizations such as childcare facilities and Head Start programs. HSA is a licensed New York City Department of Education (NYC DOE) vendor, and its teaching artists benefit from NYC DOE training in classroom management and childhood education.

By providing classes in a variety of arts disciplines during and after school, HSA is filling the gap that severe cuts in arts education funding have created in public schools across the country. HSA teaching artists partner with classroom teachers and principals to determine how to best meet student needs and work within the frameworks of the New York State Learning Standards for the Arts and the New York City Department of Education’s Blueprint for Teaching and Learning in the Arts.

NUMBER OF CHILDREN SERVED OFF-SITE In FY14, more than 32 teaching artists were in residence for 5 to 32 weeks in 17 New York City public and charter schools and community organizations for a total of 800 hours of instruction.

HSA provided essential arts education programs to 2,793 children.

HSA’s goal, with the support of partners from the private and public sectors, is to reach 5,000 students in and from schools across the City within three years.

2,793 CHILDREN SERVED OFF-SITE

85% of the children in HSA outreach schools are on a free lunch program.

THE ARTS & HSA’S IMPACT Since its inception, Harlem School of the Arts has directly impacted the lives of three generations of New York City children, creating a legacy of enrichment and achievement in all areas of life. By participating in high-quality arts education, HSA students benefit from higher academic achievement; increased motivation, engagement and self-confidence; improved skills in collaboration and public-speaking; and enhanced abilities to think critically and problem-solve creatively.

Recent research indicates what Harlem School for the Arts has known for nearly 50 years: that providing access and equal opportunity to the arts to low-income students helps level the playing field.

| ANNUAL REPORT 2013-14 | HARLEM SCHOOL OF THE ARTS

“Arts-engaged low-income students are more likely than their non-arts-engaged peers to have attended and done well in college, obtained employment with a future, volunteered in their communities, and participated in the political process by voting.” James Catterall, Doing Well and Doing Good by Doing Art: A 12-Year National Study of Education in the Visual and Performing Arts

HSA alumni are among the most prominent in the arts and include: opera singers Harolyn Blackwell(1) and Noah Stewart (2); Ya Ya DaCosta(3), star of the Angela Bassett-directed biopic, “Whitney” on Lifetime in 2015; and Katori Hall(4), award-winning playwright; just to name a few.

Even more alumni, who have not pursued a professional career in the arts but become leaders in their chosen fields, point to HSA as a transformational experience in their lives.

“Harlem School of the Arts is as much a social justice institution as it is an arts education institution,”1 – Darren Walker, President, Ford Foundation ANNUAL REPORT 2013-14 | HARLEM SCHOOL OF THE ARTS | 9

TOMORROW’S PATH TO SUSTAINABILITY Completing its capacity-building strategic plan is crucial to the future success of Harlem School of the Arts. Underlying this plan is its commitment to ensure quality arts training for every child.

This is an exciting challenge, but it cannot be accomplished alone. It will also take the dedication, personal engagement, and financial support of HSA’s growing family of friends and donors. Only by working together can HSA ensure its lasting place as one of New York’s premiere cultural destinations for the training and empowerment of young people…a place where they launch their journeys to become tomorrow’s creative thinkers and innovative leaders. Their future depends on it.

GROWING NEED FOR FINANCIAL AID HSA is deeply committed to providing 100% financial assistance to every socio-economically disadvantaged child who has the desire to study at HSA. In Fiscal Year 2014, HSA awarded a total of $408,000 in scholarships, of which $223,000 were need-based financial aid scholarships for eligible families who could not afford HSA’s already reduced, partially-subsidized tuition. We expect that by Fiscal Year 2017, the need for financial aid will reach $1,000,000 and that 25% of students will require fully-underwritten tuition assistance.

Keeping up with the demand for financial assistance is a constant challenge.

To meet it, HSA is strengthening its fundraising efforts so that it can continue to provide high-quality arts instruction, mentorship, and high school and college preparation to an expanding roster of students.

Our Financial Aid and Merit-Based Scholarship Funds guarantee that students from a broad socio-economic spectrum become peers that support and collaborate with each other. HSA is investing in its future capacity to serve all children.

Current HSA Parent

(Leonay Shepherd, Age 12)

Reaching capacity means serving 1,500 students on site and 5,000 students in schools, bringing the arts to thousands more children who otherwise would never experience its benefits. Harlem School of the Arts can achieve this by: • Growing the Financial Aid and Merit-Based Scholarship Funds to meet expanding need.

• Hiring and developing top-notch staff, faculty and teaching artists.

• Investing in the maintenance and improvement of its home, The Herb Alpert Center.

Help ensure HSA remains an inspiring place for young people to learn, grow, and create by joining its family of supporters!

THE FACTS

HSA’s tuition revenue only covers 40% of what it takes to provide its students with high-quality arts programming. These fees are greatly subsidized and are set at the level that best serves the community. 20% of its students benefit from full tuition assistance through financial aid; all of its students - the other 80% - benefit from dramatically reduced tuition.

This means HSA depends on the generous public support of individuals and foundations to cover 60% of its operating budget each year in order to provide its much-needed artistic programs to underserved youth.
