Dear Friends, Supporters, and Community,

After prudent deliberation, the Board of Directors has made the decision to wind down operations and close Arts On View Society, Hermann’s Jazz Club, and View Street Social. Our final day of operations will be April 30, 2026.

This was not a decision we arrived at lightly. Over the past 18 months, we have worked hard to stabilize the organization, improve operations, and explore every reasonable path forward. While we made meaningful progress, the financial challenges we inherited from previous leadership proved too significant to overcome in a sustainable way.

We know how much Arts On View, Hermann’s Jazz Club, and View Street Social have meant to all of you as a place to gather, to experience music and art, and to connect. That’s what makes this especially difficult.

What we are most proud of is the community that formed around this space. The artists who performed here, the staff who gave their energy and care, and the audiences who showed up night after night. You are what made these experiences special.

We want to sincerely thank you for your support over the years. Whether you attended a show, performed on our stage, volunteered your time, or simply helped spread the word, you played a part in what Arts On View, Hermann’s Jazz Club, and View Street Social became.

This is not the ending anyone hoped for, but we are deeply grateful for everything that was created together and the memories we all share.

With appreciation,
The Board of Directors
Arts On View Society
