Exploring the Arts (ETA) was founded in 1999 by legendary artist Tony Bennett and his wife, former public-school educator Susan Benedetto. With Tony and Susan's original vision for young people to experience the transformative power of the arts, ETA's mission is to expand equitable access to arts education in historically underserved public middle and high schools. In addition to their flagship school, Frank Sinatra School of the Arts High School in Tony's hometown of Astoria, Queens, ETA currently partners with 55 public schools on both coasts and counting!
