New event coming to Melfort bringing music and art together
An event is coming to Melfort to help raise funds and support local businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic.
‘Music to Art’ was created by Justin Rempel and his daughter Micaela. Justin said they got to talking with local artist Linsey Levendall, who created the community mural between the historic post office and Home Hardware in Melfort. They were thinking of ways to have an event to bring music and art together.
“So we just came up with the idea on a whim last week at the park,” Justin said. “And it’s kind of caught on like wildfire, people are really interested.”
The event is set for August 22 and will see artists from the region created wide ranges of art while local musicians do their thing in sessions of one hour or half an hour. Justin said all types of art or welcome, anything from paintings to sculptures and everything in between.
