Welcome
About Love Jazz & Arts Center
The Loves Jazz & Arts Center is located in the heart of historic North Omaha on the corner of 24th and Lake Street. This area was once the anchor of a thriving commercial district for African Americans. The center is less than a block from the once famous Dreamland Ballroom. The facility is a 8000 square foot state of the art facility featuring the Preston Love gallery, a performing arts area, exhibition spaces, a digital media lab, and a gift shop along with classrooms and administration space.
Many sponsorship opportunities are available.
Join us and together we can grow Into the premier Jazz and arts center in the region.
