In 1999, our story began at the Walter Reade Theater at Lincoln Center featuring works of art dedicated to jazz. Next, the exhibition series continued in the legendary JVC Jazz Festival for eight long years as a special event--Visual Expressions On Jazz™. Today, and 18 years later, Arts and Jazzfest NYC™ is the premier festival dedicated to supporting the visual side of jazz, highlighted by jazz music. Despite the effects of COVID-19 this past year, we have continued our mission of supporting artists and musicians.  Thanks to everyone who supported us on this journey! And Special Thanks to The On! Channel for their generous support for the launch of our Jazz By The Water™ series in 2020 and thank you to CCCD (Centro Civico Cultural Dominicana) and West Harlem Development Corp for their support in launching our Community Christmas Caroling Year End Holiday Celebration (Montefiore Triangle Park).  Our next date for Jazz By The Water Concert Series on Governor's Island will take place on July 23rd and August 13th 2022 for more great music. And please check out our videos and pics from Jazz By The Water 2020 & 2021 on our YouTube Channel and Vimeo. See you soon!
