Who We Are

The National Jazz Museum in Harlem is a Smithsonian Affiliate with a mission to preserve, promote, and present jazz by inspiring knowledge, appreciation and celebration of jazz locally, nationally, and internationally. The National Jazz Museum in Harlem is committed to keeping jazz relevant and exciting in the lives of a diverse range of audiences: young and old, novice and scholar, artist and patron, enthusiast and curious listener. We engage our audiences through live performances, exhibitions, educational workshops, and our news-worthy archival collection of jazz artifacts.

After 15 years at our East 126th Street location, we are very proud to announce that we are moving to 58 West 129th Street, right off of Lenox Avenue! Our planned move in date is November 1st, 2015.

This move is especially exciting, as it coincides with the ascension of our Artistic Director-at-Large, Jon Batiste, to the role of bandleader for The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. You can learn more about Jon's new gig here.

What We Need & What You Get

This move is a great opportunity to upgrade our operations. Our goal is to raise $10,000 to purchase new computers, stock our exhibit and office spaces with new furniture and make our new location technologically cutting-edge.

Your support entitles you to a variety of perks including tickets to our concerts, memberships, merchandise, specially curated programs and exclusive access to our legendary Savory Collection, featuring never-before-heard jazz treasures from the 1930s and 1940s.

Learn more about the Savory Collection here.

If we don't reach our goal of $10,000, the money that we raise will still go towards technology upgrades for our exhibit and office space.

The Impact

Since we are a 501(c)3 Non-profit Arts Organization in New York City grass-roots donations make a huge impact on our organization. By contributing to this campaign you become part of a new chapter in the history of The National Jazz Museum in Harlem.

Your contribution is vital to the Museum's long-term goals of preserving knowledge and promoting appreciating of jazz music, this quintessential American art form, and ensuring its permanent home in Harlem.
