Donate – Sponsorship

Sponsor the Jazz Jam

We are seeking sponsors to support the Hayes Valley Art Works Jazz Jam, a monthly live music series that brings together local musicians, neighbors, and visitors in a shared public space.

Why It Matters

Monthly Jazz Jam
A community-driven series where emerging local musicians share the stage with paid professionals—supporting artists, drawing diverse audiences, and activating our public garden with live music.

Arts + Public Space
Hayes Valley Art Works combines exhibitions, workshops, and a community garden, transforming a once-vacant lot into an active, welcoming gathering place.

Neighborhood Impact
We present rotating exhibitions, low-cost or free hands-on art workshops, pop-up performances, exhibits, and public art-making activities on the shared street. Events such as our annual Pet Parade draw hundreds of visitors and boost foot traffic for nearby businesses.

Who We Reach

Hayes Valley Art Works serves a diverse base of nearly 19,000 neighborhood residents, with a median age of 38 and median household income of $102.6K. Approximately two-thirds of residents are college-educated. In addition to our immediate neighborhood audience, we draw thousands of visitors from across the Bay Area.

Local engagement with arts and culture is strong: 85% engage in arts programming, and 20% attend live jazz at least once a year. This makes Hayes Valley Art Works a strong platform for sponsors seeking visible, meaningful connection with an arts-engaged audience in San Francisco.
