The Kent Senior Activity Center and the Kent Arts Commission are hosting the fourth annual Evening of Jazz & Art 5-8 p.m., Thursday, June 23 at 600 E. Smith Street in downtown Kent.
Families of all ages are encouraged to attend.
Doors open at 5 p.m. when boxed dinners, compliments of Stafford Suites, will be distributed on a first come, first served basis. The Kent Valley Artists’ exhibition and demonstration begins at 5 p.m. and is open for the duration of the event.
Jazz pianist Richard Dean plays indoors (5-5:15 p.m. and 6:15 to 7 p.m.) while outdoor concerts feature blues/jazz vocalist & bassist Little Bill & the Blue Notes (5:15 to 6:15 p.m.) and jazz guitarist Michael Powers (7 to 8 p.m.). Limited indoor concert seating is available; guests are asked to bring blankets, lawn chairs and umbrellas for outdoor seating.

Guests may enjoy boxed desserts compliments of Stafford Suites (while supplies last) and share a toast in the special “Mocktail Garden” on the patio (donations accepted).
