Harlem School of the Arts
Harlem School of the Arts (HSA) stands apart as the only organization in Upper Manhattan to provide arts education in music, dance, theatre, and arts & design under one roof. For over 50 years, HSA has worked to establish an environment where children of all backgrounds can build self-confidence and creativity through disciplined training and artistic expression. For many of its families, HSA is their only resource for quality arts education, which is often cut from underfunded schools.
