  • This isn’t just another music festival. MATI is by St. Louis, for St. Louis. If you’ve been to MATI, you can feel that it’s special. It’s a microcosm of the city: all ages, races, ethnicities. No neighborhood divides. People who can afford tickets and people who can’t. All joyous. All together in the streets of Grand Center. We want to keep MATI a true, representative community experience, and while Kranzberg Arts Foundation, Steward Family Foundation and Regional Arts Commission can continue to take up the mantle, we want everyone to feel ownership. That’s what the MATI Movement is about. It’s a way for everyday St. Louisans - who are passionate about music, who love art and culture - to be in this with us. It’s about giving a little bit more to achieve a whole lot more, together.

MOVE FROM FAN TO PATRON

As part of a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, MATI is about more than entertainment. The festival and conference is about accessibility, community and ensuring the arts remain central to St. Louis’ identity, tourism and growth.

    • Access for all. Last year, MATI provided more than 3,000 free festival tickets to community members who may not have otherwise afforded to attend. 

    • Supporting artists. MATI fuels the work of musicians, visual artists and thought leaders. The event also creates job opportunities within the arts and entertainment sector of St. Louis, from performance to production.

    • Building community. The festival and conference ensures a space where ideas, creativity and connections thrive, establishing St. Louis as a premier arts and entertainment destination while building civic pride.

PATRONAGE HAS ITS PERKS

We’re getting rid of VIP tickets. There’s no VIP. There’s just the Movement. If you support MATI, you’re joining the team. That comes with access to non-public areas in the footprint, artist meet-and-greets, exclusive merch, insider access to MATI festival weekend and year-round programming, and more.
