KIA Summer Jams

Looking for a space to share your music, poetry, or spoken word? Or just want to enjoy a night of local talent, creativity, and community? Summer Jams is a three-part summer series at the Kalamazoo Institute of Arts (KIA), designed to bring people together through live performances and artistic expression.

Each night will feature a rotating lineup of independent artists, emerging musicians, and spoken word performers, showcasing the diverse rhythms, genres, and voices that shape our community. Whether you’re stepping up to the mic or simply here to enjoy the show, this is a space to connect, inspire, and celebrate creativity.
