Project Background

After a successful first year, we are bringing back The Pearl Alley Jam. We want to continue to showcase and support performers and artists in the University District! Against the backdrop of Ohio State University there are 13 unique neighborhoods with a thriving culture of creativity. The Pearl Alley Jam is an incredible opportunity for rising artists to perform for a diverse crowd and to build community with other creatives.
