Honing skills, building sets, nightly jams

This weekend, Borups Corners is alive with the sounds of creativity as Northwestern Ontario artists gather for the June Summer Artists’ Retreat with members of the Art Borups Corners Collective. Among those jamming the night away this Friday were Gerry McArthur, Maurice Betournay and Tanya McArthur, two of the many talents honing their craft. The retreat is a hub of activity, packed with intensive planning, repertoire development, and rigorous rehearsals, all culminating in lively jam sessions that stretch late into the evening.

The energy at the retreat is palpable as artists prepare for a series of exciting upcoming events. Participants are fine-tuning their acts for the next Open Mic night, set to take place June 20 at the Go Getters Senior’s Centre in Dryden. Additionally, anticipation is building for the highly-anticipated Melgund Township Canada Day Celebration on July 1, where many of these artists are expected to perform. Beyond the musical preparation, the retreat also emphasizes professional development and team building, with engaging artist talks fostering a supportive and collaborative environment.

This weekend of focused activity is clearly bringing everything together for the local arts community.
