“The group represents a wonderful mix of talented artists who help create our productions
and volunteer leadership who are essential to helping the Center run its programs.”

“Each year we seek to identify those individuals and organizations who truly make a difference in
both the work we do at Mass Arts Center from a performance or artist’s lens, but also those who
lend their time and talents to fortifying our operations,” said Board President Brian Johnson of
Mansfield. “Our Gala Committee is busy preparing a fabulous evening to recognize our
honorees for their dedication and contributions.”
