The Arts
LMGHS not only emphasizes the sciences, but the arts as well. The school has studios designed for classes in Piano, Jazz Band/Orchestra, Chorus, Drama, Painting (with north light windows), Ceramics, and Photography in order to foster the arts. In addition to the SING! program, Goldstein produces other theatrical performances throughout the year, showcasing students from the Drama and Chorus classes. There are also Winter and Spring concerts in which the school’s Jazz Band and Orchestra, Chorus, and Piano students perform for the student body and parents. The school’s Piano students also give a recital at the end of every school year. An annual exhibition of student artwork is displayed in the Art Gallery of Kingsborough Community College every January; the gallery exhibition opening incorporates talks by the art and music students along with performances of the LMG student Jazz Ensemble and Chamber Chorus. The school has a small, but significant art collection, including the painting "Freedom of Artistic Expression" by Frank Herbert Mason, the sculpture "Genius" by Ralph Helmick, as well as paintings, sculptures and photography by former students. Students at LMGHS have earned the NYC Chancellor’s Arts Endorsed Diploma.

Famous quotes containing the words the arts and/or arts:
“The Germans are always too late. They are late, like music, which is always the last of the arts to express a world condition,—when that world condition is already in its final stages. They are abstract and mystical.”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
“As far as the arts and the sciences are concerned, the German mind appreciates most highly that which it does not understand of the latter, and that which it does not enjoy of the former.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
“A man must be clothed with society, or we shall feel a certain bareness and poverty, as of a displaced and unfurnished member. He is to be dressed in arts and institutions, as well as in body garments. Now and then a man exquisitely made can live alone, and must; but coop up most men and you undo them.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
