“He really struck me as an elegant man who worked with a calm and graceful focus.”

Now on view at The New York Historical, James Harrington's The Conductor imbues its subject with an air of the visionary. A series of nested rectangles formed by the canvas and train window enshrine this man, who gazes off-frame in a style often used in portraits of political leaders. Streaks of rain also guide our eye toward him.

Such honorific treatment of individuals encountered during his daily life lies at the core of Harrington’s artistic practice.

Posted @withregram • @artanddesigntoons On Monday, Mr. Lassen’s Junior Cartoonists were exhibited at the Thurgood Marshall Courthouse in partnership with the Justice Resource Center and the federal court system. Their 3D illustrations tell the story of three distinct copyright AI cases, the legacy of important figures in judicial history and the ideals of the Declaration of Independence. One of the cases includes Sarah Anderson of Sarah Scribbles while another one of the court cases had the federal appeal judges who are hearing the case there to enjoy their work!

Plus this summer one of our students who did a 3D stamp of Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor will get to meet the Justice in person!

Our students stepped into the shoes of professional bridge design engineers in this exciting hands-on project! Working in collaborative teams of 3-4, students used real trigonometry skills to solve engineering problems just like industry professionals.

What they did:
• Used clinometers and shadow measurements to calculate building heights

•Applied trigonometric ratios in real-world scenarios

• Worked together to determine bridge tower specifications

•Practiced precision measuring - because in engineering, accuracy saves lives!

Students discovered how math connects directly to career opportunities, experiencing a realistic $95,000 salary job interview process. From measuring shadows in the courtyard to calculating cable lengths for bridge construction, our future engineers proved that trigonometry isn't just classroom theory - it's the foundation of the structures that connect our world!

Posted @withregram • @artdesignalumni This AAPI Heritage Month, we’re honored to spotlight acclaimed fashion designer and visual artist Tsui Yuen-Pappas (Class of 1985), whose remarkable career spans over 25 years in the fashion industry. 🫶A Legacy of Giving

Tsui has been an active Alumni Association member since the early 2000s. Her dedication to supporting emerging talent is exemplified by the annual High Fashion Award scholarship she established in honor of her mother, Pui Yee Yuen—one of the unsung heroes of the fashion industry who worked as a seamstress in NYC.

❤️ In Her Words

“I hope for all alumni to become more involved as giving back to the students at A&D is extremely rewarding. It also gives you an opportunity to feel the energy and re-live some of that magic from your years at A&D. I have reconnected with classmates and made new friends.”

We are proud to share that our Architecture Teachers, Ms. Singh and Mr. Rabel, were honored with the 2025 SVA ID:BE Industry Partner Award in a special ceremony hosted by Dr. Bentel, Chair of BFA Interior Design: Built Environments, on May 13th.

This prestigious recognition is part of a program launched four years ago by the School of Visual Arts, selecting only a few recipients each year—individuals or organizations that have cultivated a meaningful and lasting connection with the ID:BE program.

We are deeply grateful for this acknowledgment and remain committed to fostering impactful industry partnerships that continue to inspire and empower our students.

Mr. Rabel believes that every child deserves access to education in an environment where they can grow mentally, emotionally, morally, physically, and socially. “It is a lifetime gift, and giving is an art,” he says, underscoring his student-centered philosophy.

Ms. Singh’s deep belief in the transformative power of Career and Technical Education (CTE)—to shape not only physical spaces but human lives—has guided her work with high school students. Transitioning from postgraduate teaching to mentoring teens, she brings a dynamic and inclusive spirit to the classroom, forging connections across generations and cultures.
In partnership with the School of Visual Arts, Ms. Singh has grown the AIA Student Chapter at the High School of Art and Design from a 10-member group to a thriving organization of over 50 students in just two years, inspiring a new generation of architects and designers.

High School of Art & Design received two new printing presses! The presses are portable, so they can be transported to the various art classes with ease. Many thanks to the PTA for their generous support. A shout-out goes to Mr. Bencsko, who took the lead on communicating with the Stark Company. After a quick photo-op, the presses were rolled into Mr. Harrington's room, where they will be used this week by his Junior Illustration class.

In honor of Career Week, Condé Nast welcomed select sophomores from the High School of Art & Design to visit their offices in the World Trade Center. The students got to meet CEO Roger Lynch, they learned about the company's internship program, took part in an activity based on shark-tank, received a tour of a few of the studio spaces, and learned about the history of Condé Nast. The students had an amazing time and the staff at Condé Nast was impressed with the students' insightful questions and participation in the activities. It was a successful experience for all.

Posted @withregram • @hsad_architecture “Design for Empathy” ⠙⠑⠎⠊⠛⠝ ⠋⠕⠗ ⠑⠍⠏⠁⠞⠓⠽—is this not the ethical foundation of architectural design pedagogy?

The Senior Architecture Design Studio at HSAD would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to Gennadyi Gurman, Director of Exhibits, and Dylan House, Director of Public Programs for providing our students with the incredible opportunity to research and design a Sensory Advocacy Room at the Brooklyn Children’s Museum.

Our students carefully crafted low-stimulation spaces that prioritize inclusivity, equity, and a children’s rights-based approach (CRBA) to exhibit design. Their proposals envisioned a safe haven for children with sensory sensitivities, while also introducing climate change concepts through a positive and empowering lens.

A special thank you to Sean Franklin for mentoring our students through the critical design process, guiding them as they developed multi-faceted exhibits—ranging from Rainforests, Oceans, Energy in LEGO, Nature’s Palette, Cretaceous Creatures, and Planet Protectors, to name a few. One student even embodied the science of empathy through a furniture design concept for the museum.

The final presentation transformed the studio into a playful, meandering exhibit space, reflecting the immersive nature of the project. Overall, this experience was an invaluable lesson for our graduating class—one that truly underscored the power of design with empathy.

Posted @withregram • @djrogersanchez I am deeply honored to have received this proclamation from the New York City Council in celebration of Dominican Heritage Month, recognizing my contributions to music and culture.

Thank you to Council Member Francisco P. Moya @franciscomoyany for this incredible recognition, and to Mayor Eric Adams @nycmayor for the warm welcome at City Hall.

As a proud New Yorker with Dominican roots, this moment means the world to me. I share this honor with my family, my community, and everyone who’s been part of this journey. Always grateful 🙏🏽❤️

Congratulations to our illustration students on a great showing at MoCA fest. Chaperoned by Mr. Agbomenou, our young professionals sold prints, stickers, T-shirts, and on-the-spot portraits. They also took advantage of the extra space to put up a gallery wall, which caught the eye of many a potential customer. A good time was had by all!

Congratulation to High School of Art & Design Alumni Lorna Simpson, on her upcoming show at the MET, “Lorna Simpson: Source Notes.”

“This presentation of work by New York–based artist Lorna Simpson is the first exhibition to consider the entirety of her painting practice to date. Simpson came to prominence in the 1980s with her pioneering approach to conceptual photography. Since then, she has produced works in multiple media that continue to probe the nature of images and how they construct meaning. Lorna Simpson: Source Notes focuses on a significant new development in her work of the last 10 years: paintings that advance her incisive explorations of gender, race, identity, representation, and history. Through more than 30 works, this focused exhibition presents a selection of Simpson’s major paintings, including examples from her acclaimed Venice Biennale debut in 2015 and her celebrated series Special Characters, along with recent sculptures and related collages.” (https://www.metmuseum.org/exhibitions/lorna-simpson-source-notes)
