About the African American Museum of Performing Arts
The African American Museum of Performing Arts (AAMPA) was founded in 2019 by award-winning television and stage actor and director Harry J. Lennix and TaRon Patton. AAMPA's mission is to study, memorialize, and present works that celebrate the contributions of Black performance to arts and culture from the perspective of African American performing artists globally. AAMPA's ultimate objective is to become a nationally recognized center for African American history and tradition within the performing arts. AAMPA was founded in response to a lack of resources for African American artists of all disciplines to gather, to learn from their ancestors and each other, and to amplify their significant contributions to the performing arts in an environment that centers African American voices. AAMPA's partnership with the Driehaus Museum began in December 2023 when the organizations produced a Kwanzaa Celebration, followed by a one-woman show entitled Tammy McCann Presents: Mahalia Jackson at Carnegie Hall.
