Bottom Line for Portland

With an annual festival, education programs, and performances throughout the year, Montavilla Jazz engages an inclusive cross-section of musicians, artist curators, collaborative artists, students, music lovers, neighbors, and businesses. Funding helps Montavilla Jazz promote forward-thinking artistry and offer platforms for risk-taking, experimentation, and the creation of new works, adding to the diversity and strength of our community.
Quote
“One of the most reliable, innovative and inspiring partners I have had in both my creative and my academic work over the past ten years is Montavilla Jazz. Their artistic mission to celebrate the stories, deams, and talent right here in our community, providing both opportunity and resource for our city's jazz artists – myself included – to present meaningful, expansive work is what makes them unique and integral to our arts ecosystem.” - Darrell Grant, Jazz Pianist & Composer
