About

 

The Manhattan Music and Arts Foundation, Inc. (MMAF) is a New York–based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering the next generation of artists through music performance, education, and interdisciplinary collaboration.

 

Through artistic and educational initiatives that nurture creativity, inclusivity, and excellence, we bridge cultures and disciplines—connecting music with the performing and visual arts to inspire growth, expression, and community impact.

 

We lead international master classes and host regional and international competitions and festivals that foster artistic excellence, cultural exchange, and creative collaboration around the world. Guided by our belief that the arts have the power to unite, we strive to make creativity a force that builds connection and enriches lives across communities.
