MC Minds: On the Edge
Blog
Since starting in 2015, Mass Culture has grown from an idea shared by five arts practitioners to a nationwide network of artists, researchers, administrators, consultants, advocates and more. As our work expands, we wanted to create a space for us to share our (and your) stories and to tie together the threads of research and practice so that we can create a thriving arts sector in Canada. This blog was started in 2020 and continues to evolve, as the organization as a whole does.
