to remedy its inability to perform to the extent its inability to perform is the direct result of the Force Majeure
event with all reasonable dispatch.
(D) Obligations pursuant to the Agreement that arose before the occurrence of a Force Majeure event causing
the suspension of performance shall not be excused as a result of such occurrence unless such occurrence
makes such performance not reasonably possible. The obligation to pay money in a timely manner for

The 5th Annual South Beach Jazz Festival will take place on January 1st,2nd,and 3rd,2021 in various venues throughout South Beach.The
performers have yet to be announced,but the format of the festival will be similar to the 2020 festival.Our Headlining act will perform at the
Colony Theater on Friday night to kick off the festival.Then on Saturday there will be a Master Class with a professional musician at the Miami
Beach Community Church,an afternoon concert with various performers in Lummus Park on Ocean Drive and an evening concert in the Lincoln
Road Capital One Cafe.On Sunday there will be a jazz brunch featuring a klezmer jazz band,another Master Class,a concert at Euclid Oval on
Uncoln Road with various artists and a students of jazz performance at 1111 Uncoln Road.The Headlining performance on Friday and the Jazz
Brunch on Sunday are ticketed events.The festival takes pride in featuring world-renowned musicians who also have disabilities.Classic,Latin
and New Orleans styles of Jazz are featured.Many of the performances are free and open to the public and outdoors.The sounds of Jazz
enliven the city all weekend long and draw residents and tourists to listen,linger and groove.
Our festival targets two audiences.First,we aim to create a welcoming festival that is accessible for audiences and performers of all abilities.The
disabled community of South Florida is an important focus of our outreach efforts.Second,the festival is designed to entertain Jazz lovers and
those jazz-curious in order to promote the genre.Jazz has long been a genre that welcomes culturally and ability diverse musicians.The South
Beach Jazz Festival aims to continue that legacy by hosting world-renowned performers that happen to have disabilities.To quote Lee
Zimmerman of the Miami New limes,"There's no shortage of festivals in South Florida,but few provide such a meaningful message."
Project description as revised (if applicable) based upon the City Commission approved award:
Changes to projects funded by Grants awarded under the Artistic Disciplines program must still adhere to the
requirement that the work is new or has never before been presented in Miami Beach.
The South Beach Jazz Festival will take place on January 8th,9th and 10th mainly in South Beach with the exception of one event at the North
Beach Bandshell.Please see the attached document for all changes due to the CDC guidelines put in place to combat.the COVID-19 pandemic.
The main goals of the festival will still be achieved,however several changes have been implemented to fully comply with these guidelines.

Miami Beach CAC Grant Agreement
Project Description Revised (Page 11)
The annual South Beach Jazz Festival, presented by Power Access, Inc.,takes place
on South Beach, a local leader in ADA accessibility, over three days in January and
features renowned musicians,who have various disabilities. Jazz, as a genre, has
traditionally been accepting of a wide variety of demographics.The goal of the
festival is primarily to enable artists to be recognized for their abilities and not their
disabilities.To quote Lee Zimmerman of the Miami New Times, "There's no shortage
of festivals in South Florida, but few provide such a meaningful message."
The 5th Annual South Beach Jazz festival (January 8,8 and 10)continues the tradition of
bringing vibrant jazz to Miami Beach in order to educate and entertain locals and tourists.A
three-day schedule of performers is being curated now to make this the best festival to
date.All performers reside locally and make up some of Miami's most talented and
well-loved musicians. A variety of jazz styles will be represented with each
performance group containing at least one member with a disability. That
performer is asked to speak before playing as a way to normalize disabilities and
celebrate our differences.
Performances will all be outside and small scale to adhere to CDC guidelines
regarding social distancing.We have create a COV1D-19 plan and have appointment
a COVID-19 Manager for the festival to ensure we operate as safely as possible for all
those involved in the festival.We are keeping abreast of all City, County and State
guidelines and regulations, so that we can fully comply with all requirements.At in
person events we are planning for Volunteer Ambassadors to monitor on site
conditions and to maintain Seating Pods among the audience.
We are very lucky in South Florida to have a large community of world-renowned Jazz
musicians.This year's festival will pull largely from that pool,with perhaps one out-of-town
performer.The caliber of the festival will be just as high, if not higher,than in previous years.
The addition of recorded and live-streamed performances opens up a wider
audience to Power Access's message of inclusion and ability. It also allows those
who cannot be in the physical audience to see the beauty of Miami Beach and
perhaps encourage them to visit when they feel safe. We have reached out to Miami
Beach TV and Atlantic Broadband and are discussing broadcasting with them among
other outlets. The participant numbers reported in this grant reflect our virtual
audience expectations as well and physical participants.
This festival will be slightly different than in years past. We will not have a show at
the Colony Theater or an indoor jazz brunch. However the sounds of jazz will still
permeate Miami Beach and we will be able to reach an even greater audience
through technology. Events will take place on Lincoln Road, in Lummus Park and at
the North Beach Bandshell.While not in South Beach,the Bandshell offers a great
outdoor venue that can comply with social distancing guidelines and is a great fit for
this year.
A highlight of the festival is our free Master Class.This year we are adding a second
class so that more participants can be accommodated.The Master Class engages
local musicians, of all abilities, with prominent Jazz professionals with the goal of
normalizing both physical and mental disabilities.This year the class will be held
virtually so that people can safely participate. Members of the disabled community
and general public are encouraged to attend this virtual interactive musical
workshop. Class participants play with and ask questions of the host, as well as
connect with other local jazz musicians.This will also be recorded to distribute after
the festival.
A new feature of this festival is a juried fine arts show that will be open during the
festival and for the month of January.All entries to the show will be from artist
living with disabilities.This will be in partnership with the organization Life is Art.
The exhibit will be at a location to be determined on Lincoln Road.We hope to grow
this Art Show in future years.
The festival will continue to feature student performers, as outreach and education
are an important part of the festival.Talented student performers will stroll Lincoln
Road Mall on Saturday and Sunday to enliven the street and stay distanced from
others.The Dade County Youth Jazz Ensemble and Nicole Yarling's student jazz
group have been invited to participate on the main stages on Saturday and Sunday
of the festival.
We are excited about the 2021 South Beach Jazz Festival because although the
current health crisis has presented challenges it has also brought opportunities.We
feel that by live-streaming, recorded and virtual participation we can grow our
audience and the reach of our mission.This hopefully will lead to increased crowds
in future years when the situation is safer.
Jazz is the perfect music compliment to the diverse culture of South Florida. Latin,
Classical, New Orleans style, Chassidic,Afro-Cuban and fusion jazz styles are all
represented at the festival. Performers hail from Cuba, Hungary, New York, Peru, St.
Louis and of course Miami-Dade County. Many of the performers who are originally
come from elsewhere now call Miami home.The blending of the music influences
and styles is what makes jazz the open-armed music genre that it is.The South
Beach Jazz Festival reflects the vibrancy of South Florida while also adding to that
culture.
Our primary goal is to increase awareness about people living with disabilities
through Jazz.To further this goal, at least one member of each musical group is a
person with a disability.At the start of each performance there is a discussion about
disabilities and overcoming challenges.This serves to educate the audience and
normalize disabilities. Showcasing disabled performers creates opportunities for
those individuals while also educating the community.Additionally,the festival is
intended to be fully accessible. Performers and audience members of all abilities will
be represented. Sign language interpreters are utilized and all sites meet of exceed
ADA standards.
