About Us
Augmenting the arts-supporting mission of the 32 Bar Blues clothing brand, the nonprofit 32 Bar Blues Foundation was established in 2020 to further promote American music, literature, photography, and the artists that create within these genres. Jazz, blues and roots music are of particular focus – all uniquely American art forms that should be nurtured and advanced for the benefit of future generations. Similarly, contemporary poetry and street photography are supported as powerful forms of creative expression deserving greater exposure and appreciation.
Toward these goals, the 32 Bar Blues Foundation seeks out and partners with nonprofit arts organizations that provide education, training, encouragement, opportunity, support and exposure. Young and emerging artists as well as established and lesser-known masters are of equal focus.
Through direct 32 Bar Blues corporate support and donations; customer donations; and all profits received from special clothing items, music, books, and other partner products in the 32 Bar Blues collection and website; seasonal contributions go directly to the artists and organizations noted in THE ARTS section of the 32 Bar Blues website.

Background
The 32 Bar Blues clothing brand was born with a deep love and respect for the American arts, and we believe a life well-lived accrues from the discovery of unexpected beauty. To that end – and since our first collection in 2012 – we honor many of the pioneers of American music, writing and photography and we give 100% of the profits from the sales of their CDs, books and photos directly back to them as part of our commitment to the arts.
