Usdan Summer Camp for the Arts is a unique arts summer camp on Long Island that brings together the rigor of artistic practice and the playfulness of a classic summer camp. M&F is grateful that every summer, Usdan awards our advanced instrumental students with scholarships to its acclaimed 7-week music program.

M&F is thrilled to have ended the 2018-19 school year on a very strong note. This past school year, we reached a record number of 81 public schools and over 17,000 students across NYC. We have expanded the impact of our programs through significant budget growth and the development of new school partnerships. M&F has successfully balanced our artistic and programmatic vision with our financial resources for the past six years.
