Kerr Cultural Center is ASU Public Events' most intimate and unique venue. Its 250 seat studio, located in what is now the heart of north Scottsdale, was built in 1959 originally as Mrs. Louise Lincoln Kerr's private music studio, in what was then the middle of the desert. Mrs. Kerr's private residence, built in the late 1940's and located next door, now houses Kerr's administrative offices.

Louise Lincoln Kerr was an accomplished musician and composer, and one of the Valley's most enthusiastic supporters of the arts. After her death in 1977, she willed her home and studio to Arizona State University, which dedicated the space in her memory as the Kerr Cultural Center in 1981.

Kerr Cultural Center pronounces its name the same way its benefactor, Mrs. Kerr, spoke her name, using the Danish pronunciation, which sounds identical to "care."

JazzInAz proudly presents a concert series at the Kerr Cultural Center. The details are listed below.
