🎷 Central Avenue Jazz Festival: A Personal Celebration of Community and Jazz! 🎶
Being the Arts Pavilion organizer for the 29th Central Avenue Jazz Festival is such a joy for me. This event, happening on September 21, 2024, from 11 AM to 7 PM, isn't just about music—it's about celebrating our shared history and the vibrant spirit of our community.
For over 20 years, this festival has felt like a "homecoming" for so many of us. Central Avenue holds a special place in my heart; it's where the magic of West Coast jazz began, with legends like Duke Ellington and Billie Holiday lighting up the scene.
Now, the Festival gets to honor that incredible legacy by showcasing both fresh talent and seasoned musicians across three dynamic stages, while the artists at the Arts Pavilion add their unique creativity to this vibrant celebration.
This festival really does bring us all together, across generations and backgrounds, united by the love of jazz.
I can't wait to see everyone come together to dance, sing, and celebrate the incredible culture that jazz music nurtures in our community. Let's make this year's festival unforgettable!
Save the date and join us for a day full of music, joy, and connection. See you at the 29th Central Avenue Jazz Festival! 🎉

Join us at the Arts Pavilion during the 29th Central Avenue Jazz Festival on September 21, 2024, from 11 AM to 7 PM and meet the incredible artist Shelton Gillis!

Shelton Gillis has slam-dunked his way into the art world, and it's no surprise given his impressive 6' 6" stature and basketball background. This Long Beach, CA native made a significant debut with his Open Edition prints, "Knowledge Is Game" and "Knowledge Is Game Too." These acclaimed pieces deliver a powerful message about balancing academics and sports, something Gillis knows well. He earned a BA in Business while on a 4-year Athletic Scholarship for basketball.

Gillis shares his journey: "I grew up playing sports, starting with pop-warner football at 7. Despite my success in football and basketball, my passion for art began at 5. Art made me feel free, with no boundaries, and gave me a sense of accomplishment." His self-taught style of realism and detail is a testament to his innate talent.

🎉 Join us at the 29th Central Avenue Jazz Festival to meet Ramesses in person! He’ll be at the Arts Pavilion on September 21st from 11 AM to 7 PM, sharing his incredible work and stories. Don’t miss this chance to experience his art firsthand and learn about his creative journey! 🎉
Meet Ramesses, an artist whose work is a celebration of life, culture, and history. Starting his career in the pressroom of the L.A. Times, Ramesses moved into the art department, honing his skills in newspaper art for nearly 15 years. His journey began with striking black and white drawings of historical Black figures and evolved into captivating pieces inspired by jazz, blues, and political satire.
Ramesses's artistic evolution didn’t stop there. After noticing a lack of Black representation in church windows, he boldly ventured into stained glass, creating vibrant windows that feature Black figures and jazz-inspired designs. He also creates intricate mosaics that tell powerful stories.
More recently, Ramesses has embraced the art of quilting, especially portrait quilts. After mastering quilting basics at A.A.Q.L.A., he developed unique techniques that blend culture, history, and diverse fabrics. His quilts are not just pieces of art but narratives stitched with purpose and passion.
Known for his thought-provoking and educational art, Ramesses invites viewers to reflect deeply on the world around them. Whether through glass, mosaics, or quilts, each piece embodies the emotions and cultures of his subjects, offering a profoundly personal experience.
🌟 Follow his journey and be inspired by the stories he brings to life through his incredible art! 🌟
