Much can be and has been said about Ashe Cultural Arts Center. Simply stated, it is the cultural nexus of the New Orleans artists' community. As stewards of the cultural and artistic community, Ashe uses its position to house cultural assets and advocate for the health and betterment of artists, culture bearers, and its surrounding neighborhood: Central City.

 

Ashe owes much to formidable women leadership, Carole Bebelle (Emeritus), and Asali Devan Ecclesiasta, Chief Equity Officer. This award is as much for these extraordinary women as the Center itself.

 

Ashe and its governing organization, Efforts of Grace, are the brainchildren of writer, producer, and planner Carol Bebelle and artist Douglas Redd (decease). Ashe forged relationships with the Contemporary Arts Center, Enterprise Corporation of the Delta, and the New Orleans Musician Clinic through their leadership.

 

Under Asali Ecclesiastes' leadership, Ashe has continued to expand and renew its commitment to artists and the community with programs like "I Deserve it!" a groundbreaking initiative that trains artists and culture makers to serve as community health ambassadors. A partnership with partnering with Tulane University School of Public Health and New Orleans East Hospital with funding from the Mellon Foundation, Ashe has continued to strive.

 

Asali Ecclesiastes, Carol Bebelle, and the employees of Ashe are powerful assets to the City of New Orleans. We are honored to present Ashe as the 2023 Community Service Award co-honoree.

New Orleans Jazz Museum
The New Orleans Jazz Museum celebrates jazz
in the city where it was born.
Please Visit Us Today!
Through dynamic interactive exhibits, multigenerational educational programming, research facilities and engaging musical performances, the music New Orleans made famous is explored in all its forms.

Housed in the historic Old U.S. Mint, strategically located at the intersection of the French Quarter and the Frenchmen Street live music corridor, the New Orleans Jazz Museum is in the heart of the city's vibrant music scene.

Through partnerships with local, national and international educational institutions, the New Orleans Jazz Museum promotes the global understanding of jazz as one of the most innovative, historically pivotal musical art forms in world history.


Jazz Collection

The New Orleans Jazz Museum's collection is the largest and most comprehensive of its kind in the world.

The Jazz Collection chronicles the music and careers of the men and women who created, enhanced and continue in the tradition of New Orleans jazz at the local, national and international levels. It consists of instruments, pictorial sheet music, photographs, records, tapes, manuscripts and other items ranging from Louis Armstrong's first coronet to a 1917 disc of the first jazz recording ever made. It includes the world's largest collection of instruments owned and played by important figures in jazz- trumpets, cornets, trombones, clarinets and saxophones played by jazz greats such as Bix Beiderbecke, Edward "Kid" Ory, George Lewis, Sidney Bechet and Dizzy Gillespie.

Other artifacts in the Jazz Collection include some 12,000 photographs from the early days of jazz; recordings in a wide variety of formats, including over 4,000 78 rpm records that date from 1905 to the mid-1950s, several thousand 12-inch LPs and 45 rpm records, approximately 1,400 reel-to-reel tapes; posters, paintings and prints; hundreds of examples of sheet music from late 19th-century ragtime to popular songs of the 1940s and 1950s - many of them first editions that became jazz standards; several hundred rolls of film featuring concert and nightclub footage, funerals, parades, and festivals; hundred of pieces of relevant ephemera; and architectural fragments from important jazz venues...
