Mount Allison Performing Arts Series

02/10/2023

Hello, friends! It has been a while! As you may know, the Mount Allison Performing Arts Series has been on hold since March 2020. Given all the uncertainty of the last few years (lock-downs and the closure of campus to visitors even as recently as last winter), we have been unable to commit to bringing in new artists.

As we look ahead to 2023-2024 we are reflecting on our purpose, our role in the campus and community, and some of the logistical and budgetary aspects of the series. Additional context about our situation can be found here:

We have formed a committee with representation from faculty, the community, and students, and are inviting your feedback and ideas as we consider how best to move forward.

Please help us out by completing a short, anonymous survey to let us know what you think:

We would also welcome your comments, questions, and ideas at [email protected]. Feedback should be submitted by Friday, February 17 to be fully considered by the committee.
