Friday’s concert performance to be followed by Saturday creative workshop for well-being
The 52nd annual Algoma Fall Festival kicked off Friday at the Art Gallery of Algoma with a well-attended and well-received performance by pianist/vocalist Sarah Slean, saxophonist Rob Carli and readings from several storytellers.
Friday’s performance was a production involving The Awesome Music Project. Established in 2019, the AMP is a charity that promotes positive mental health outcomes through music, storytelling and creativity. Slean, Carli and Kim Slade, Awesome Music Project executive director will deliver a creative workshop that combines storytelling, music and art to boost the well-being of participants at The Art Gallery of Algoma beginning at 11 a.m. Saturday. Art supplies are provided.
“The Awesome Music Project is on a mission to make life better through music. They’re working in various ways as a not-for-profit organization to do that, to connect with people through music and art as they’re doing here this weekend. It’s healing. It’s good for us. Scientifically, it’s a fact that music and art help us be happier people. It’s really important,” Hilsinger said.
