Our mission

To value the crucial presence of arts and culture in the personal and social life of
the population of the Lake Massawippi Basin and to develop bridges between
artists and the population, in a spirit of inclusion and cultural mediation aiming at
citizen participation and the cultural development of communities.

This mission is based on the conviction of the important place due to arts and
culture and proposes a response to the needs of the human being, and of humanity
in general, in an evolved and evolving society. This place takes shape through
alliances, groupings, consultation, but above all, through concrete actions that
must be taken to counter the trivialization, that is to say the fact that the human
being is often put aside.

 

Our vision

Arts-Cultures Massawippi is an inclusive grouping of artists from diverse
disciplines, backgrounds and cultures, as well as individuals who recognize the
importance of art and culture, but do not identify themselves as artists, and groups,
organizations and businesses working in arts and culture.
