Greetings!

As you can imagine, launching Dallas' first world-class music, food, fashion and arts festival is a great journey. The decision to begin the public networks 'roll-out' portion of the platform has been great as well. Mainly because, it gives immediate feedback that there is an audience for such an event. You, along with folks on Twitter and UptownJazzDallas.com (which you should request to join, by the way), are revealing that there's a great pool of arts enthusiasts, not only here in Dallas, but abroad. This was the whole point back in 2006. For an area like the metroplex to be successful at hosting an International Jazz Festival, the platform must do what other festivals don't do. Which is, tap into, develop and promote local talent. Regional, National and International talent will take care of itself. This is the goal of this portion of Uptown Jazz Dallas' roll-out. Discover and congregate the best talent in our area in the areas of music, food, fashion and arts. So, if you have perfected a gift in one of these categories, it's time for you to come forward and prepare yourself to go forward with us. Don't just sit back and wait for this to happen. You need to have a page/profile for yourself on UptownJazzDallas.com. When the time comes, this will be how the world sees you. Trust me, there will be a lot of folks on this platform later. Dallas/Ft. Worth talent needs to be online first. So, be advised. Also, if you're just a fan (which is definitely cool), and you know someone that needs to be involved (from anywhere on the planet) get the word to them and invite them yourself. Take pride in this thing.
