A Place for Jazz awarded $10,000 by the New York State Council on the Arts

A Place for Jazz, a nonprofit dedicated to the performance and propagation of jazz, received a grant award totaling $10,000 from the New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA) to support the nonprofit arts and culture sector. 

Since Spring 2023, NYSCA has awarded over $80 million to artists and organizations across the state in its continued investment in arts and culture. 

The nonprofit was congratulated by NYSCA and Governor Kathy Hochul. 

“Research confirms what we’ve always known here in New York: arts and culture are a powerhouse, with a staggering return on investment for our economy and our communities,” Governor Kathy Hochul said. “Nonprofit arts and culture organizations and their audiences generated $151.7 billion in economic activity nationwide in 2022 and New York’s unparalleled arts and culture sector is leading the way to benefit our residents, our students and our visitors every day. I commend these grantees on their achievements and look forward to their contributions in the coming year.”

NYSCA continues to gain support from Governor Hochul and thanked A Place for Jazz for their service to New York. 

“Thanks to the unwavering support of Governor Hochul and our Legislature, NYSCA is so proud to support the work of organizations and artists from all across New York,” NYSCA Chair Katherine Nicholls said. “On behalf of Council and staff, congratulations to A Place for Jazz and thank you for your perseverance, your creativity and your tireless service to New York State.”
