Our
Target Area

Olde Towne East and Near East Side is one of the oldest areas in the city that has gone through transition and is in the process of urban renewal. It is under major revitalization and our goal is to be a part of this transformation and partner with other organizations to help improve this up-and-coming underserved area.  We endeavor to remove the negative stigma and bring back pride to an once flourishing neighborhood.  We set out to put Olde Towne East and the Near East Side community on the map as a unique and diverse Jazz/Arts Mecca while providing community outreach and youth initiatives.
