The Artists Collective, created in 1970 to offer a safe and constructive haven for at-risk youth, serves upwards of 1200 students in its programs each year. Besides workshops in music theory, the award-winning organization offers group workshops for blues guitar, piano, saxophone, trumpet, woodwinds, drums, violin, bass, and vocals at their 1200 Albany Avenue facility.

On Sunday, March 11th, musicians from the Artists Collective will be performing in the Hartford Public Library’s Baby Grand Jazz series.

The free performance begins at 3; arrive before 2:30 to increase your odds of getting a seat in the atrium. There is parking available on street and in the garage/lot next to the library.
