The Creative Music Guild invites Portland musicians and sound-makers to submit proposals for the Improvisation Summit of Portland, returning in October 2025. This annual festival celebrates risk, collaboration, and spontaneous creation—pairing local artists with nationally and internationally recognized improvisers across multiple venues. We’re seeking adventurous voices from every corner of the city’s music community: soloists, ensembles, and boundary-pushers working in any medium.

Some performances are already booked with visiting artists but the dates that are available are listed in the submission form. If you are applying, go ahead and select all that apply to you and your collaborators schedules.

Please note:
