Jazz Artists and Presenters Receive $1M for Bold Collaborations
The mission of the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation (DDCF) is to improve the quality of people’s lives through grants supporting the performing arts, environmental conservation, medical research and child well-being, and through preservation of the cultural and environmental legacy of Doris Duke’s properties. The Doris Duke Charitable Foundation focuses its support to the performing arts on contemporary dance, jazz and theater artists, and the organizations that nurture, present and produce them.
Creative reflections
The Doris Duke Charitable Foundation’s Creative Inflections program provided grants totaling $1M to seven jazz artists at the top of their craft to collaborate with five presenting organizations on experimental, multi-disciplinary work exploring social justice themes and expanding audiences for jazz.
To coincide with the announcement of this year's grantees, we created a video showcasing the grantees' projects.
