Program accomplishments

MusicOregon helped organize the Music Policy Forum, in partnership with King County Creative, KEXP, and Campfire Music Foundation, which brought together artists, policymakers, and industry leaders to discuss and shape policies for a more sustainable and equitable music ecosystem. MusicOregon sent a delegation of 10 music professionals to the Music Policy and Cascadia Music Summit meeting in Seattle (April 2025). MusicOregon initiated a pilot program of the Music Business Incubator (MBI), tailored for early or transitional career aspiring entrepreneurs seeking to excel in non-musical roles within the music industry (i.e., Artist Management, Recording Studios, Music Venue Ownership). During its pilot year, MBI spent 6 months coaching five aspiring entrepreneurs.
