Each station will consist of text, images and an iPad that visitors can use to learn more about the artist and their efforts. They will also be able to listen to a song by the artist and six other songs that touch on the same theme. Each station will also include additional causes supported by over 20 JUNO Award-nominated artists that relate to the station’s sustainability theme. Visitors will have the ability to suggest other songs that they feel carry a similar message. As a lasting legacy, the exhibit will become the RSM’s fourth travelling exhibit later this spring. People around the province of Saskatchewan will be able to continue the musical interaction.
