CONTEMPORARY ARTS INC

Contemporary Arts Inc. is a non profit with the mission to preserve and advance the appreciation of the Jazz art form throughout the community through education and performance. The objectives under this mission are as follows: Preserve Jazz, voted by the U.S. Congress, "America's National Treasure as an American Art Form". Provide opportunities for education and entertainment to general audiences, musicians, students and other live music enthusiasts. Focus on the educational, creative and artistic well-being of children and provide role models and opportunities for aspiring artists of all ages. Collaborate with professional artists and other like-minded organizations regionally, nationally and internationally. Expose the community to new exciting performing art programs. We have a summer camp for children ages 7 to 17 who are taught jazz by professional musicians. Children need no prior musical experience and can choose from Saxophone, drums/percussion, vocals, dance, violin, and guitar. The camp is held on the first 2 weeks of August at the Loyola Maryland University on Charles Street in Baltimore, Maryland.
