Let’s chat about 2026…

This is a big year for us at Keepsake House: our first full year as a non-profit! We’re now eligible to apply for grant funding, but we have to take the time to identify opportunities and apply for them. We also have to build up our board, update all our systems, and realign programming with our mission to serve the NYC artist community.

We can’t do that without your help. In order to build a strong and sustainable foundation for this house (pun intended), we will be focusing on internal operations and low-cost community programming this year, starting with the launch of an Artist Advisory Board! Apply to join the Board if you:

✅ Are a songwriter or storyteller familiar with the NYC community who wants to connect with other artists
✅ Want to speak into the future of this organization to help it best serve artists like you
✅ Have the skills and time to independently lead projects that would benefit the artist community at Keepsake House

Applications are open NOW at the link in our bio and rolling until Friday, March 6. Thank you, Keepsake Family 🤗🏡 taken in New York, New York by @keepsakehouse

@jasminejangmusic’s “Garden Voices” release show was a beautiful gathering of the community Jasmine has grown both in and out of Keepsake House. 🌻

She truly is the gardener whose seed became this home, and if you ever wonder where Keepsake House is from, we know the answer: Jasmine.

We hope you show Jasmine and her incredible record some love today and beyond, and ohhhhhh man will we cherish these memories of her playing with @blue__jay__music (on every possible instrument?!) and her full band @sebastian.danalis @bassbowwow @_andrewkang forever. 🌱🪺🏡
