GRAMERCY PARK, Manhattan (PIX11) – A free, upcoming exhibit in New York City will showcase historic photographs from America’s golden age of jazz.

The National Arts Club will host the exhibit in its building in Gramercy Park in Manhattan. The exhibit will run from Sept. 5 through Nov. 27. 

The exhibit will showcase 33 photographs by 14 photographers dating from the 1920s to the 1980s.

This exhibit is a partnership between the National Arts Club and Bank of America's Art in Our Community program.
