This is My Jam
Your ticket not only provides you access to an epic music experience, it also provides epic music and art experiences, instruction and scholarships for our most vulnerable communities in the greater Norwalk area. Thanks to ticket sales from last year's JAM, we were able to kick off our youth songwriting series, therapeutic drum circles and provide several students with scholarships to Factory Underground Tech where students gain real world production credits through a hands-on studio experience, with a focus on career development and job placement. We are now in the building out phase of our own studio and continue to ask for your support.
Thanks for Spreading the Jam!

About the organizer
JAM is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with the mission to provide a creative haven where artists and musicians, young and old, can hone and share their craft with the community. The JAM Studio partners with local organizations to provide process oriented art and music enrichment for the underserved - specifically inner city youth and the special needs community.
Junior Art & Music (JAM) was founded in 2010 by local, award winning kindierocker and art educator, Dre Towey. The studio is the marriage of her three loves: Art & Children & Music. Since then thousands of children have benefited from the hands-on, process oriented art and music which is JAM’s signature. Whether painting, singing, splatting, spinning, strumming or drumming, children discover that there is no limit to their creativity when their creativity is not limited.
We believe art and music play a critical role in community building, social justice, advocacy, youth development, and health and wellness. We believe art and music can be a powerful conduit to link individuals inspired to serve, and communities and organizations in need. We believe there is an urgency to unite people around these principles. As a 501(c)(3), JAM is expanding its art and music outreach, fostering relationships with local organizations and inviting more children and families to our studio at little or no cost.
