Keepsake House was founded in spring 2021 by Jasmine Jang and Hailey Savage. The concept was inspired by the collaborative nature of a roundtable concert featuring Jasmine Jang and fellow Asian American women songwriters that Hailey hosted while working at the Museum of Chinese in America (MOCA) in summer 2019. While forming a friendship and deep respect for each other, Jasmine and Hailey connected over the lack of community space or support for independent artists in New York. This led the pair to build a business that could bring something special to both artists and fans: a safe, supportive space not only to share the art itself, but to inspire storytelling and nurture meaningful artist-audience connection. Through roundtable-style concerts and a focus on conversation about our artists’ works, Keepsake House hopes to leave listeners with a deeper love for and understanding of the art made: a keepsake to hold onto.
