Annual Jazz Brunch and Silent Auction
![]() |
One of our most important events, raising an average of 15% of our annual operating budget, is Art-Reach’s Annual Jazz Brunch & Silent Auction. Each year at the Jazz Brunch, Art-Reach honors individuals or organizations that have demonstrated exemplary commitment to increasing access to arts and culture for underserved audiences through our Commitment to Cultural Access Award. |
