Groundbreaking Ceremony for the New A&D Building Friday, May 21st, marked the day of the A&D Groundbreaking Ceremony. ____As President of the Alumni Association, I was chosen to represent our Alumni. The politicians and builders spoke of the importance of having a new PS 59 for the young students of the neighborhood. Some spoke of having the "Only professional art high school"...the High School of Art & Design. ____I sat with mixed feelings, knowing the building that held many fond memories would soon be gone. Yet, I realized that like the previous buildings of our predecessor, the School of Industrial Art, our school is not just the building. Those that nurtured and were nurtured with creative excellence... will be watching. For young artist of our entire city the philosophy and spirit of A&D that MUST live on. Michael Cheverino President, Art and Design Alumni Association  For detailed coverage by reporter Lindsey Christ of NY1, and a video, please click here.

Dick Giordano (1932-2010) Artist. Editor. Teacher. Friend Dick Giordano loved comics. What the combination of words and pictures could do and say -- as well as what the combinations of writers and artists could do and say with those words and pictures -- showed Dick that his future was here. ____Exposed to comics as a child during a bout with Scarlet Fever, Dick made it his life long business to work in and around the fantastic characters whose exploits helped him during that tough time. First attending the School of Industrial Art in Manhattan (which later became the High School of Art and Design -- more on that later) Dick learned the ins and outs of producing commercial art for the comics and advertising worlds of the 1950s. Landing his first job at Charlton Comics in 1952, Dick subsequently worked his way up to the position of Editor-in-Chief and forged early professional and personal relationships that would last a lifetime.
