Community Jams just received a Small Arts & Culture grant from Fred W. Fields Fund of Oregon Community Foundation. This is a direct result of your enthusiastic participation, ongoing support, and collaboration in making Community Jams a valuable service for Portland musicians. Thank you all so much!

Thanks to the tireless efforts of our musician, Board member, and Technology Director Robert Steele, the new version of the bsteele Music App has been released. Please remove your old links to the beta and bookmark this version going forward!

We rely entirely on your donations to keep things running. Please consider at least $20 per jam as one-time donations or recurring donations on PayPal to help us cover the costs of serving you at our beautiful studio.

Can you help us with time and expertise? We are looking for support with grant-writing, promotion, and event organization. Drop us at note at play@communityjams.org

Our studio space is located at 211 SE Madison St inside the East Creative Collective, a centrally-located studio and gallery for artists.

Would you like to volunteer to help connect musicians through live music? We’re looking for a few folks that are interested in helping with marketing, website management, and social media. Email communityjamspdx@gmail.com to get involved!
