Description
FAD stands for Friends of Art & Design-an all volunteer, non-profit organization that was founded in 1994. Our purpose is to support the students of the High School of Art & Design, a public high school with a commercial arts focus. Located at 245 E 56 Street, FAD was established by residents of the neighborhood surrounding the school. While many of the school’s graduates have achieved incredible success , many current students have unmet needs which FAD strives to fulfill.
