New York Academy of Art Donates $66,000 Linked to Jeffrey Epstein

The New York Academy of Art has donated $66,000 in funds originally received from convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein to Girls Educational and Mentoring Services (GEMS), a nonprofit supporting sexually exploited girls. The move redirects all donations the school accepted from Epstein after his 2008 conviction. The academy's board chair, Eileen Guggenheim, who solicited the funds, will retire from her role a month early on April 1, following renewed scrutiny of the institution's Epstein ties.

Newly released Department of Justice documents reveal that the New York Academy of Art (NYAA) actively courted Jeffrey Epstein for funding years after he was a known sex offender. In 2013, board chair Eileen Guggenheim invited Epstein to sponsor a scholarship program where he personally selected student recipients in exchange for commissioned portraits. One such commission resulted in a painting of the sons of billionaire Leon Black, further illustrating the interconnected web between Epstein and high-profile art world figures.
