Eastside Arts Alliance presents the 15th Annual Malcolm X JazzArts Festival

San Antonio Park, 18th Ave. & Foothill Blvd. Oakland, CA

Oakland, CA – Eastside Arts Alliance proudly presents the 15th Annual Malcolm X JazzArts Festival for free on Saturday, May 16, 2015 (11 am – 7pm) at San Antonio Park, Oakland. This unique Oakland-based festival celebrates Malcolm X’s vision to bring together communities of color to work to determine their own destiny. Now a local tradition, Malcolm X JazzArts Fest is one of the only remaining FREE outdoor festivals in Oakland providing a space for the grassroots communities of color to find common ground through a rich legacy of Black music and the evolution of Third World Arts Movements.

The festival’s intention is to bring new audiences to appreciate and support Jazz, an art form birthed out of the African American experience, but that also has resonance and deep meaning for other communities who share parallel experiences of struggle.

We are honoring and celebrating both the Black Arts Movement and the Chicano Arts Movement as these pivotal cultural movements celebrate 50th anniversaries. For EastSide Arts Alliance we take this time to recognize our commitment to linking cultural work with movement building.
