It's a new year and we are continuing with our favorite programs.
The 2nd Tuesday Jazz Jam is back courtesy of our friends at The Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events.
Come see us on the Steps, in the parks and on the blocks as we bring music to the community. We will have some new faces this year as we showcase the great talent of our southside artists. Big Big Thanks to St. Moses The Black Parish Ministy Center for giving us a comfortable affordable space to present our programs. The STEPS are amazing and we'll be there every fourth Sunday from May through September and if October looks good, we may venture out again. Don't forget to check out the EVENTS page and we will keep you updated on what's going on in our community. And let's stay on our local politicians about arts and culture equity in our communities. We need the ARTS in our neighborhoods!
