Program Dates: July 7 – August 1, 2025

Location: The Frank Sinatra School of the Arts in Astoria, Queens.

NEW in 2025! Student bus transportation will be available for students in the Bronx, South Brooklyn (Districts 17, 18, 20, 21, 22), South Queens (Districts 27, 28, 29) and Staten Island. All other participating students will receive a free round-trip MetroCard for use throughout the entirety of the program.

Students can concentrate in dance, theater, instrumental music, orchestral strings, vocal music, film, or visual arts. The program is designed for students at an intermediate or advanced level of study in their discipline. Students from all schools across all Boroughs are encouraged to apply.

The daily schedule includes studio work and experiences with professional artists. In the studios, students develop and improve their technical skills and creative expression in their art form. Time is dedicated to rehearsals, attending professional performances, visiting arts venues and exploring careers. The Institute culminates with an exhibition and performance showcasing the students’ work.
