Established in 1983, Alumni & Friends’ (A&F) inspiring community raises funds to provide vital support to the school and its students including:
– Equipment and supplies for each of LaGuardia’s six studio departments – art, dance, drama,
instrumental music, technical theater, and vocal music
– Accompanists for the dance, drama, and music departments, and master classes taught by industry
professionals
– Art supplies and live models for the art department
– On-site instrument repair and tuning over 40 pianos in the school
– Scholarships for students with financial need to attend summer arts programs and receive private lessons
– Emergency funding for students with financial need to cover senior dues, assist with travel to
college and conservatory visits for interviews and auditions, and buy art supplies
– Extracurricular student and faculty led projects
– Resources to maintain our database of 50,000+ alumni and produce special events like reunions
– And so much more!
