The MASC Monday – April 16, 2012
The MASC Monday is coming up on April 16, 2012, and will feature 4 MASC artists leading 20-minute collaborative sessions. If you would like to join us, bring your instrument; it would be a pleasure to see you there! If possible, please contact :
Audrey Churgin
Executive Director, MASC
Directrice générale, MASC
250 avenue Holland Ave.
Ottawa, ON K1Y 0Y5
(Anyone wishing to perform should plan to arrive by 6:30pm to set up their equipment.)
MASC Mondays
MASC Mondays are held at the Arrow and the Loon Restaurant and Pub in the Glebe. This informal coffee house was developed as an opportunity for MASC artists to get together in a casual space to share their talents, talk, eat and drink. Reaching a larger audience in the neighborhoods we serve, our artists will meet a new public. It keeps Ottawa’s culture brewing, hot and ready for consumption!
Performances are lead collaboratively with everyone in attendance welcome to participate. Watch for sounds and sights across disciplines and styles, played together, creating new and unpredictable experiences for the audience and artist alike!
A ‘donations at the door’ kind of event, we are hoping to raise funds through MASC Mondays to support our work within the community and to continue bringing Multi-Cultural excellence in the arts to schools. Proceeds will go towards school subsidies for high-need communities.
Chers artistes CNCAC,
Le prochain lundi de MASC approche à grands pas; en effet, le 16 avril 2012, 4 artistes MASC dirigeront des sessions où ils collaboreront avec vous. Si vous voulez vous joindre à nous, veuillez apporter votre instrument; ça nous fera grand plaisir de vous y voir. Si possible, informez-nous à l’avance. ( Toute personne qui désire jouer doit s’assurer d’arriver à 18 h 30 afin d’installer leurs équipements). MERCI !
