About Arts for Art

Founded in 1996, Arts For Art (AFA) is a New York City based tax exempt organization dedicated to the promotion and advancement of FreeJazz -- an African American indigenous art form in which improvisation is principle. FreeJazz embodies music, dance, poetry and visual arts. It is recognized for its variety of highly developed and personalized improvisational languages. AFA works not only to preserve the legacy of FreeJazz as African American multi-cultural art form, but to ensure a vital future through its re-imagination by new generations of artists. AFA presents performances throughout the year that are designed to deepen engagement with a growing community of diverse artists and audiences. To further AFA’s goals of diversity and accessibility, we foster education initiatives that are free to all of our students while focusing on those in need.

Arts for Art advocates for human rights and justice, and in support of FreeJazz improvised music, dance, and visual art. FreeJazz is recognized for its variety of highly developed and personalized improvisational languages. We work to preserve the legacy of FreeJazz through vibrant multi-arts programming, as well as ensuring the vital future for the improvised arts through reimagining by new generations of artists. AFA works to ensure that future through music education and mentoring programs offered free of charge to those in need.
