Mission:

MMAS is to foster the arts in southeastern Massachusetts and to proved a home for them In our community. MMAS provides a platform from which fine and performing artists may hone their skills through presentation and continuing education.

MMAS host the annual Southern Mass Arts Festival each September at which artists from all over New England have the opportunity to make their works known to the public.

MMAS is the home of the Black Box Theater that has a season of eight and ten theatrical productions staged every season, offering local playwrights the chance to have their works performed, and giving area actors, dancers and singers the ability to exercise their talents on our stages. By offering fine and performing arts education to regional children, teens, adults and seniors, MMAS reaches across generational lines to provide a safe environment in which all may explore their talents.

Results:

We recently renovated our theater space and increased our seating from 50 to 80 seats. The renovation also added educational studios, a new art gallery, and a wonderful lobby. MMAS is looking to raise funds to purchase the building and protect this asset for the arts community.
