"Jazz in the Park" is sponsored and presented by the Little Rock Convention and Visitors Bureau (littlerock.com) and River Market (rivermarket.info). Beverage sales during this third annual series of concerts benefit the scholarship fund and enrichment programs maintained by Art Porter Music Education (artporter.org), a 501c3 nonprofit established to honor the jazz legacy of Art Porter, Sr. and Art Porter, Jr. (Inducted into the Arkansas Jazz Hall of Fame in 1994 and 1998, respectively, both are profiled under "Hall of Fame" at arjazz.org and in the Central Arkansas Library System's Encyclopedia of Arkansas History and Culture at encyclopediaofarkansas.net.)
