Episode 51: MATI Festival: Celebrating Music, Art & Community in St. Louis

Music has a way of bringing people together, and that's exactly what the MATI Festival is all about. We sit down with Chris Hansen, Executive Director of the Kranzberg Arts Foundation, to talk about the sixth annual MATI Festival, returning July 17–19. What started as a celebration of music has grown into a multi-day festival featuring live performances, visual art, and community experiences that showcase the incredible creative talent found throughout St. Louis. Chris shares how MATI is helping fill a need for the local music community, why supporting artists is essential to a thriving city, and how the festival continues to evolve each year. We also talk about the role the arts play in shaping St. Louis' identity and why investing in creativity benefits everyone. BUY TICKETS HERE: https://matistl.org/?gad_source=1&gad...
