OUR MISSION & PROGRAMS
Jazz Forum Arts is a 501© 3, not-for-profit arts presenting organization, whose mission is to present top-quality events to the public at little or no cost, while enhancing the appreciation of Jazz, America’s pre-eminent indigenous musical artform.
Affordable Live Music
The Jazz Forum, the Jazz venue in Tarrytown, New York is the only dedicated jazz club in Westchester County, serving the entire region outside of NYC. Your donation to Jazz Forum Arts, the non-profit that runs the jazz club, allows us to present the finest and most celebrated Jazz and Brazilian musicians in an intimate and welcoming environment. As a reflection of the Jazz Forum Arts mission, our commitment is to keep the music affordable and accessible for all our patrons. In particular, we have a grant to provide free admission for children under 12 allowing families to experience this music together.
Free Summer Concerts
For the past 33 years, Jazz Forum Arts has presented free outdoor summer concerts in NYC, Westchester and Connecticut. The performers are both well-known artists and emerging talents, and the audience has always been composed of a wide diversity of community members. The concerts are cherished by live music lovers and newcomers alike and have become a cornerstone of their communities. Your donation enables us to provide a space and opportunity to engage audiences in experiencing live music in beautiful sites and broaden the audience of America’s pre-eminent indigenous musical art form.
Students of Jazz
We provide Jazz musicians of all ages the opportunity to perform with and learn from established artists. Through our monthly Jam Sessions and high school student-run programs, novice and seasoned Jazz musicians can further cultivate and refine their mastery of Jazz. With your donation, Jazz Forum Arts can continue nurturing the burgeoning community of Jazz musicians.
