MASS CULTURE'S NETWORK
MASS CULTURE'S MODEL
WHAT MIGHT AN ARTS & CULTURE RESEARCH NETWORK LOOK LIKE?
Mass Culture acknowledges the great work that is already happening across the arts and cultural sectors. Organizations are conducting research, creating toolkits and reports, and finding creative ways to partner on issues that matter to their communities. Mass Culture intends to enhance rather than duplicate efforts. By tapping into the existing energy, Mass Culture can play a role by connecting and promoting arts and cultural research, updating old data, and addressing research gaps that exist across regions, disciplines, and issue areas.
While an organizational model for Mass Culture was created and refined throughout the 2017-18 consultations, Mass Culture has a fun, frenetic initial impression of what a highly connected hub with existing organizations and networks could look like:

WORKING GROUPS
A number of groups have been struck to support the Mass Culture initiative during the start-up phase. If you are interested in taking an active role in the Mass Culture initiative, please contact Kathryn at info@massculture.ca to participate in a group, or discuss other ways to collaborate.
This group contributes towards the organization’s key operations such as its financial and human resources, organizational inner workings (bylaws & policies), and the foundational elements of its three-year work plan.
