Tony Bennett founds the Frank Sinatra School of the Arts, which later moves into this building
Singer Tony Bennett and his wife, Susan Benedetto, founded the public arts high school in 2001 and named it for Frank Sinatra, with funding through the nonprofit Exploring the Arts. The school began in the DeVry building at LaGuardia Community College, moved to that college's C building, and later settled in its own building near Kaufman Astoria Studios and the Museum of the Moving Image. Students audition into one of six majors: fine art, dance, vocal music, instrumental music, drama or film.
“…was founded in 2001 by singer Tony Bennett along with his wife Susan Benedetto, and is named after the American musician and actor Frank Sinatra.”
