CELEBRATING AND ADVANCING THE ART OF JAZZ

WHAT IS JAZZ ARTS INITIATIVE? 

Jazz Arts Initiative is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to the promotion, education, preservation of jazz and related art forms.  This newly-formed entity is made up of arts patrons, educators, performing jazz artists, business leaders, and volunteers. Our mission focuses on three program development areas:   Jazz Performance,  Education,  and Musician Support.   These three elements were established to help nurture a future audience and preserve the tradition of this American Art Form, Jazz.
