Come and help us celebrate International Women’s Day! Join us on the 6th, 7th and 8th of March for the 12th annual Strong Women Strong Music concert series, featuring West Coast’s most prominent women jazz musicians singing up support for Enterprising Women Making Art (EWMA), a program of Atira Women’s Resource Society. Revel in the voices and music of these talented artists while investing in the soul and spirit of the Downtown Eastside, where EWMA helps art and empowerment bloom.
One hundred percent of all proceeds will go to EWMA.
For fifteen years EWMA, located in the Downtown Eastside, has provided safe, income-generating opportunities for women who are struggling with poverty, substance use and or mental wellness, and who have been impacted by violence, abuse and grief over the loss of children, family members and friends; opportunities that are free from exploitation and judgement. EWMA is a place that for many women, makes hope possible.
For the third year in a row year we are thrilled to again be partnering with Vancouver Coastal Jazz. With their support we have been able to extend the concert to three nights and to use their fantastic location Frankie’s Jazz Club, where food will also be available. The Strong Women Strong Music Concerts are part of a month long celebration of women in jazz.
Dates: Tuesday 6th, Wednesday 7th and Thursday 8th March
Location: Frankie’s Jazz Club, 765 Beatty St, Vancouver, BC
Time: 7pm-10pm – Performances start at 8pm.
