NIMA was established in 2009 providing a regular live venue for Jazz and Improvised music in Newcastle since March 2011. NIMA has produced over 500 events and paid musicians over half a million dollars in performance fees. In collaboration with The Grand Hotel, NIMA continues to showcase local and touring artists who are performing to a growing audience in a listening room environment resembling a New York style 1920s jazz venue. Patrons are able to immerse themselves in the music and experience a high standard of professional musicianship and sound production.
NIMA has always been run by a dedicated group of volunteers with proceeds from ticket sales going directly to performers.

"NIMA has shown me just how powerful and life-changing these opportunities can be. My daughter is now a professional jazz musician who began her journey here in Newcastle. Over the years, NIMA has provided her with numerous supportive, paid, performance opportunities with professional sound management. She continues to enjoy playing at NIMA when she returns to Newcastle, playing a sold-out gig with her five-piece band just recently."
