"Thank you for supporting the arts and seniors in one grand gesture, it makes a difference, you make a difference that ripples out." Patricia Goyeche, Coordinator of Community Programs, The Glebe Centre The MASC Seniors Program was made possible thanks to generous donations from: Program Sponsor Anonymous Donor Season Sponsors Over the past 8 years, MASC has developed a rich Seniors Program that provides arts programming to seniors throughout Eastern Ontario and Western Quebec. MASC’s talented artists are an enthusiastic group of individuals and ensembles who entertain, educate and enlighten. MASC artists offer unique artistic activities to seniors, bringing opportunities for hands-on participation in engaging workshops and thrilling, multicultural performances. Participants speak of the excitement of creating something beautiful, widening their understanding of other cultures and the pleasure of participating in a performance. Discussions with the artists have proved an exceptional experience for both participants and professional artists.
