The UnderWorld Black Arts Festival was launched in 2018 as UnderWorld Jazz Festival to amplify rich, colorful and nuanced black art traditions. We use the word "underworld" because despite the revenue it generates, Black art remains marginal to mainstream society. We use the term "jazz"; less as a genre and more as a way to think about approach to music, creativity and life. UnderWorld Black Arts Festival - October 20st-23rd, 2022.
