Hamptons JazzFest Awarded $25,000 FY2026 Grant from NYSCA

Hamptons JazzFest is proud to announce that The Jam Session Inc. has been awarded a $25,000 FY2026 Support for Organizations grant from the New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA).

This recognition affirms the critical role our year-round programming plays in strengthening cultural life across the East End.

NYSCA’s investment reinforces the value of our work and reflects statewide confidence in our artistic vision, operational discipline, and community impact. This support directly fuels our ability to present high-quality jazz and world-music performances across multiple venues, expand artist engagement, and increase access for audiences throughout the region.

We are grateful to the State of New York, NYSCA, our board of directors, donors, sponsors, and partners for helping advance this mission. This award accelerates the momentum behind Hamptons JazzFest as we continue building a vibrant cultural ecosystem on the East End.

More updates coming soon as we build toward our 2026 season.
