Mission and programs · 2025

Primary exempt purpose

Provide underserved markets with access to quality arts programming and to utilize the power of arts-based community development as a tool for individuals from all walks of life to be of one community through a shared arts experience.

  • The 2025 SAJF Festival marked a landmark year of growth and cultural celebration, achieving record-breaking milestones by proudly serving over 10,000 attendees and expanding its bustling marketplace to feature over 100 vibrant vendors alongside 65 juried artists. The festival's massive success was powered by a seamless, high-energy entertainment lineup that kicked off with the Selby Avenue Brass Band parade, followed by a powerhouse roster on the Main Stage-including the W|W Jazz Ensemble, Brio Brass Band, heyArlo, The YUKO MABUCHI Trio, and a headlining set by Cory Henry & The Funk Apostles-all smoothly coordinated via the Selby Avenue & Chatsworth Street N entrance. Concluding with concurrent, packed late-night jam sessions at Walker West and the Multipurpose Hall, the event not only shattered previous attendance benchmarks but also drove significant economic and charitable impact, raising vital funding for local grants, scholarships, and non-profit initiatives to foster a lasting spirit of creative unity.
