Art, Music and Connection in Melgund Township
The final preparations are underway for this weekend’s highly anticipated music jam at the Dyment Recreation Hall, taking place tomorrow, Saturday, September 6, 2025. Musicians from across the region, including talent from Sioux Lookout, Dryden, and Ignace, are setting up their equipment for what promises to be a day of great music and community celebration.
This weekend’s event is made possible with generous support from the Ontario Arts Council’s Multi and Inter-Arts Projects program. The program’s goal is to support the creation and presentation of multi- and inter-arts activities by professional Ontario artists and groups, making events like this a reality for communities across the province.
The event, running from 12 to 5 p.m., is more than just a music jam. Attendees can also explore an arts and crafts saleand participate in presentations and discussions about the year’s art projects and programs. This collaborative gathering aims to bring together artists and community members for a day of shared creativity.
This exciting event is deeply rooted in community-based leadership and collaboration. The Art Borups Corners collective works closely with a dedicated team of artists, cultural leaders, and research partners who have been part of the program’s development. This year’s program saw participation from a broad spectrum of artists, including Indigenous artists, women, artists with disabilities, Francophone artists, as well as youth and seniors.
