The Office of Arts and Special Projects extends its heartfelt congratulations to the recipients of the 2021 Chancellor’s Arts Endorsed Diploma. Qualified high school seniors are awarded this diploma in dance, music, theater, or visual arts, after demonstrating mastery of discipline-specific, standards-based content material. Graduates pursue related university studies, seek careers in the arts, enter the field of arts education, and become the future patrons and audience members of New York’s thriving arts community. They represent the artistic and cultural future of our nation.
