Help keep creativity and community programming alive at the Jazz Center Gallery for the Arts in Riverwest. We’re a venue where visual artists, musicians, and performers of all sorts share their creativity with a wide and diverse community audience. We often champion beginners, the experimental and fresh and genres with few venues to perform or show their work. We depend on community support to keep our doors open and our array of programs for all ages flourishing in a decidedly non-commercial atmosphere. Please consider making a donation this Giving Tuesday.

We are Recruiting New Board Members!
We are Recruiting New Board Members!

The Jazz Gallery Center for the Arts (JGCA) is now in the process of recruiting several new board members to serve on the Board of Directors of the organization. We are reaching out to our JGCA members and wider community to provide information about this leadership opportunity.

Our efforts are inspired by:

  • Our Vision: A community strengthened by creativity

  • Our Mission: We provide opportunities to create, present, and experience the arts in an open collaborative environment.

The next several years promise to be exciting ones for the JGCA as we, like so many other organizations, re-emerge from the challenges of the last few years.

Are you interested in joining the JGCA Board of Directors?
