Senior Partnerships
MASC offers specialized arts programs to seniors' residences, long-term care homes, and community housing.
Working with Seniors and Older Adults
MASC works with numerous community partners to bring engaging programs that reduce isolation, encourage physical activity and raise awareness and appreciation for cultural diversity. MASC artists work in all artistic disciplines and offer workshops that are geared towards seniors and adaptable to different participant abilities. Our performances are engaging and allow the participants to experience culture from around the world, high-quality shows that are brought right to them. We develop short and long term programming with you that fits your groups' needs.
Dance Residencies
Explore culture, get physically active, bring people together and break isolation. Dancing is an excellent activity to accomplish all of these things and more. MASC has many artists who can share dance styles from many different cultures. Dance residencies offer participants to learn more about the culture, build friendships and learn choreographies that build memory.

Murals
Murals add vibrancy and beauty to a space. When created by the community, they also become a source of expression and pride. Mural-making brings people together, provides a creative outlet and allows a community to explore issues that are important to them, resulting in an impactful mural that is seen by many.
