Music is Art is proud to foster a connection between our community and the artists of New Orleans and Louisiana through The Big Easy in Buffalo. 

The series brings New Orleans and Louisiana bands to the area for in-school music education, cultural programs and public concerts, and is centered around the annual Mardi Gras Jam. 

The program started as a collaboration between MiA, the Niagara Erie Regional Coalition, and the Buffalo Niagara Convention & Visitors Bureau.
