A shared calendar in partnership with ArtsBoston

JazzBoston and the JazzBoston calendar are in partnership with ArtsBoston, the highly respected nonprofit organization that has been serving Greater Boston’s entire arts and cultural sector through its calendar and award-winning research and audience-building programs for 40 years. JazzBoston and ArtsBoston share a mission and vision for our constituents and our city, and since the launch of JazzBoston’s new website in 2015, we now also share a calendar.
A win-win for both organizations, our partnership with ArtsBoston significantly broadens the exposure for artists, venues, and presenters submitting to JazzBoston’s calendar and deepens the Jazz/Blues offerings ArtsBoston’s calendar provides to arts lovers of all kinds seeking entertainment options.

More viewers, more functionality

The ArtsBoston calendar connects over 70,000 unique visitors with over 1,000 events a month. It is the most comprehensive guide online to the vast array of arts and cultural events in the Greater Boston area. Partnering on our calendars is one more way of moving jazz into the entertainment mainstream and reaching out to new audiences.
With a single submission, your events are featured on both the JazzBoston and ArtsBoston websites. They are also automatically syndicated to the WBUR ARTery, with over 500,000 unique monthly visitors.
The new shared Jazz/Blues calendar also offers an optimized experience on desktop, mobile, and tablets; search functions so that people can find your events easily; and the ability to share with social media and Google Calendar.
