Children's Enrichment ProgramThe Children's Enrichment Program served 855 children ages 218 from across the New York metro area, with the majority from Manhattan (63%) and the Bronx (20%). Students were both ethnically and economically diverse, with 55% identifying as African American and 22% as Latino. HSA was able to offer $150,000 in financial aid to 87 Children's Enrichment Program students. Dance and music financial aid accounted for 93% of the total awards granted by HSA in FY17, with 81 students receiving support that enabled them to attend 156 dance and 79 music classes. Additionally, 35 students received support to attend 22 theatre classes and 18 art & design classes.In addition to offering 124 course offerings, HSA hosted guest artists such as Otis Sallid, HSAs FY17 Theatre Artist-in-Residence, who choreographed HSAs annual production of Soul Nativity and new works for HSA dance students. Students were also given opportunities to perform and exhibit their work to family and community members as a way to demonstrate acquired skills, instill a sense of pride and ownership in their accomplishments, and increase confidence. FY17 highlights included performances at HSAs Fall Open House by dance students as well as vocal students; sold-out productions of Soul Nativity, a reinterpretation of the Nativity that featured dance, music, and theatre students, as well as set design by art & design students; the annual Dance Spectacular, which featured year-end performances by nearly 400 dance students; and special performances by students at partner organizations such as The Greene Space, Radio City Music Hall, and SummerStage, among others. HSA PrepIn FY17, the HSA Prep program provided 47 exceptionally talented students ages 917 from the New York City region with full scholarships totaling $150,000 to attend HSA and gain the artistic and technical skills and opportunities necessary to pursue a career in the arts. While the Prep program has traditionally limited the age of its participants, due to the exceptional talent of some of HSAs younger students, Prep scholarships were offered to two students under the age of 12 in FY17. 23 new and 24 returning Prep students were chosen through an interview process that included an audition or portfolio review, interview, essay, submission of a report card, and recommendation letter. 63% of Prep students came from Manhattan or the Bronx, with additional students from Brooklyn and the surrounding region; 80% self-identified as African American and 20% as Latino. Educational OutreachHSA provided quality in-school and after-school arts programming to 944 students at 9 schools and child service centers in 10 site locations in Manhattan, the Bronx, and Brooklyn through the Educational Outreach program. The majority of students at all of the partner sites were African American or Latino, including 8 sites with populations of 78% or greater; more than half of the student population at the majority of partner sites qualified for free lunch. ARTScapeHSAs ARTScape summer camp provided 170 children ages 412 from across the New York City region with safe and affordable arts programming over three, 2-week summer sessions: July 514, July 1728, and July 31August 11. The camp curriculum included activities onsite at HSAs Herb Alpert Center in Northwest Harlem that engaged campers in music classes such as chorus, D'Jemba drumming, introduction to woodwind instruments, and introduction to piano; dance classes including Ballet, Modern, African, Hip-Hop, and Jazz, as well as creative movement; art & design classes such as fashion design, graffiti art, photography, drawing, and art basics; and theatre classes in improvisation and musical theatre. Campers went swimming at Roberto Clemente State Park Pool and participated in field trips to New York City cultural institutions and attractions such as the Bronx Zoo, Hudson River Park, Central Park, the Children's Museum of Art, and the American Museum of Natural History. Family ProgramsHSAs Family Program series presented over 25 student, faculty, and guest artist events, performances, theatre productions, musical and dance presentations, artist talks, and more during the FY17 season to an audience of over 5,000 students, families, and community members. Students gained confidence from showcasing their work and benefited from collaborating with professional artists on high-caliber productions, while families and community members gained access to events celebrating diverse cultural backgrounds. Family Programs were offered either free of charge or at the subsidized price of $10$20 in advance or $25 at the door, with the majority of performances occurring during the evening or weekend afternoons to accommodate working families. FY17 also saw an expansion of the Family Program series with the launch of ART Makers, a conversation series featuring notable and emerging artists. The series debuted on November 15, 2016 with dancer and choreographer Camille A. Brown performing new work and speaking about the evolution of African American dance to an audience of students and community members. Additional ART Makers conversations included visual artist Danny Simmons on April 6, 2017; renowned dancer and choreographer Twyla Tharp on May 23, 2017; and music mogul and recording artist Mike Bivins on June 3, 2017. 3414762 true true false false false false false false false true true false false false true true true false true false false false false false true false false false true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 58 0 true 201 true false false false false false false true true false 0 false false false false false false false false false false X 21 21 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true false false NY X Eric Pryor 2129264100 645 St Nicholas Avenue New York NY 10030 Charles J Hamilton Jr Board Chair 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Janice Savin Williams Vice Chair/Sec. 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Julian Johnson Treasurer 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Lisa Davis Trustee 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Dr Henry Jarecki Trustee 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Rona Sebastian Trustee 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Rodney C Adkins Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Mogolodi Bond Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Lisa Diller Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Michelle Fizer-Peterson Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Scott Markowitz Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Gabriella Morris Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Kristine G Manoukian Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jacqueline Nickleberry Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Karen Sanders Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Luis R Penalver Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 David A Picon Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Julie Rose Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Alexander Smalls Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Kenneth W Taber Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Stephen S Usher Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Eric Pryor President 40.00 0.00 X 226352 0 0 Yvonne Garcia Development Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 145542 0 8838 371894 8838 2 false true false NCheng LLP 40 Wall Street Suite 3222 New York NY 10005 Accounting 217460 1 994674 445112 1447593 2887379 Admission income 611710 69402 69402 Education outreach 611600 369956 369956 Tuition & registration 611600 1361886 1361886 1801244 74273 74273 0 0 56520 56520 56520 56520 50000 39321 10679 10679 10679 114274 994674 114274 0 0 0 Other income 900099 22008 22008 22008 4852103 1801244 163480 X 0 275000 275000 0 0 230886 161620 23089 46177 0 2121091 1768189 165713 187189 0 89875 74013 6912 8950 267147 219999 20544 26604 0 0 0 0 0 0 600610 316512 262278 21820 15910 15910 0 0 0 86854 71525 6680 8649 34706 20395 14311 0 0 25094 25094 0 141922 116874 10915 14133 155006 127649 11921 15436 Special event expense 187143 187143 Repairs & Maintenance 122781 63006 52881 6894 Bad debt expense 69664 69664 Printing and Publications 66095 54430 5083 6582 246696 145550 80480 20666 4736480 3414762 771475 550243 220922 246424 0 874238 355586 19487 8075 0 0 0 0 91095 157250 3464968 1530289 1834542 1934679 2455475 2673831 0 0 0 0 5495759 5375845 385020 241795 410008 276714 25000 560000 443851 213321 213321 1593349 1175681 X 74937 469894 711775 614572 3115698 3115698 3902410 4200164 5495759 5375845 115623 182131 X false true X true false X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 2455475 51279 267077 100000 2673831 2692454 -17816 100000 119163 2455475 2736727 55727 100000 2692454 3104391 676633 298601 1342898 2736727 3071762 32629 3104391 0.99210 0.00790 false false false 163216 163216 2407934 1096823 1311111 893818 433466 460352 1934679 Other Liability 213321 213321 X 4949234 182131 190000 372131 4577103 275000 275000 4852103 4651480 190000 190000 4461480 275000 275000 4736480 Part V, Line 4: Intended uses of the endowment fund.
