PERFORM AT MATI 2027

As Music at the Intersection (MATI) enters its 7th year in 2027, we're inviting St. Louis-area artists to be part of a festival celebrating the city's rich musical heritage and vibrant creative community. From jazz, blues, and soul to hip-hop, rock, and beyond, MATI brings together local talent and national artists for a dynamic, multi-day celebration in the heart of St. Louis' Grand Center Arts District.

We're seeking St. Louis-area acts performing predominantly original music that reflect the creativity, diversity, and spirit of our city's music scene. Artists are selected based on curatorial alignment, available performance slots, and overall festival needs.

Applications are open November 9 through December 31, 2026, and are completely free to submit.
