JazzArts Charlotte strives to be a catalyst for cultural enrichment and music education that brings creative inspiration to the lives of the citizens of the Charlotte region. Our mission is to connect the cultural community and develop an audience for jazz through quality education, performance and musician support. We are also a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization made up of educators, cultural arts patrons, students, musicians and individuals dedicated to the continued development of Charlotte’s arts heritage. The organization provides access for and to world class musicians, ensuring that jazz has a home here in Charlotte.
