JAMESTOWN, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – The Jamestown Arts Center will host the next Midwest Worldfest today at 12 PM.

The Jamestown Arts Center had previous hosted four world-renowned performance groups. This year, they’ll be bringing them to the area virtually.

Gallery Manager Sally Jepson says in 2015, they had been a site for the Midwest Worldfest. But with COVID-19, they had decided to bring their performances to the Midwest virtually.

While the concerts are free and offered virtually, the Jamestown Arts Center will be hosting the concerts free at their location over the lunch hour in sessions their calling “Lunch Listens.” Jepson says participants can bring their lunch and enjoy the concerts.

Today, the series continues with Paulo Padilha e Bando from Brazil.

Those who want to watch the concerts and access the study guides, discussion questions, and videos can visit artsmidwest.org/worldfestonline.
