Membership
Thanks for your interest in becoming a member to support LJAC
The Loves Jazz & Art Center is built on the generosity of its members-individuals, corporations, organizations, and foundations that share our goal of recognizing the achievements of black artists in the visual and performing arts.
Today, The Loves Jazz & Art Center needs your help to support the innovative interpretive, exhibitions, and research programs that the center will develop so it may educate people of all backgrounds about black artists who, in dedicating themselves to their art, changed the role and perception of black artists in society.
We invite you to sustain the center's vital work now and in the future by supporting one or more of our programs. In addition to promoting cultural enrichment opportunities in the region, across the nation, and around the world, The Loves Jazz & Art Center contributors enjoy many benefits and prominent recognition for their important participation.
Your participation will be a crucial part of our success. It's only through the loyal support of members that we will be able to present exhibitions, educational programs, and publications dedicated to celebrating the creativity of African American artists.

Loves Jazz & Arts Center, in partnership with Eastern Nebraska Community Action Partnership, (ENCAP ) has successfully completed our 3rd Summer Youth Camp. Each year, LJAC brings expert artists to the Center to work with up to 25 youth participants in varying genres. The goal is to teach young people the value of artistic expression, a viable, marketable skill, and the numerous career paths available to artists. In the process, they learn about their culture, history and contributions of African Americans.
