ABOUT FIVE POINTS JAZZ
Five Points Jazz is a series of grants and activations, ushering in a new era of year-round, jazz-focused events in the historic Five Points Neighborhood.
Denver Arts & Venues will work with the Five Points Business Improvement District (BID) and the office of Councilman Darrell Watson to distribute $225,000 to businesses, nonprofits and creatives that present jazz and jazz-related programming throughout the year in the Five Points neighborhood.
The goal of Five Points Jazz is to invest in jazz artists more significantly and to enable artists and residents to enliven the neighborhood in a more consistent manner, honoring the history of jazz in Denver and supporting those who continue this legacy in the Five Points neighborhood today.
Five Points Jazz Grants
These grants will support jazz performance and jazz-related activities in Five Points, both to celebrate the history of jazz in the "Harlem of the West" and to look forward to fostering a new generation of jazz artists in the neighborhood with contemporary, innovative jazz programming.
Accepting applications through March 25, 2025.
