Summer Arts Institute (SAI) is a free program for public school students entering grades 8 through 12 at an intermediate or advanced level of their discipline. SAI is administered by the NYC Department of Education's Office of Arts and Special Projects. Students major in dance, drama, film, instrumental music, vocal music, photography, or visual art. The program is designed to help them broaden their skills, explore career options in the arts, and build portfolios and audition skills.

ETA's Support
ETA is proud to collaborate with the Department of Education as a partial funder of the Summer Arts Institute. In 2010 ETA helped facilitate SAI's move from its previous location to its new home, the ETA-supported, newly-constructed Frank Sinatra School of the Arts at the Kaufman Astoria Studios Complex.
