Ready. Set. Purchase and Renovate!

The Mass Music & Arts Society (MMAS) is thrilled to announce the purchase of 888 South Main St, Mansfield, Massachusetts. This future home of the MMAS Arts Center at Great Woods will feature a 250-seat theater, education classrooms, rehearsal and meeting space, and a beautiful lobby that will be the new home of the Morini Art Gallery. A VIP roof terrace will provide spectacular views of the Norton Reservoir and a catering kitchen and community rooms are available for rent for conferences, meetings and events. The new center will be handicapped accessible and will also have over 100 onsite parking spots.

MMAS Arts Center at Great Woods will secure its place as the premier regional arts destination in Massachusetts. The arts center is directly across from the 20,000-seat outdoor concert venue, Xfinity Center, creating a true arts hub. Set on the picturesque Norton Reservoir and situated in the Mansfield Cultural District, the arts center will be easily accessible from major highways making it an even more accessible and desirable destination.

Look to the MMAS Arts Center at Great Woods for award-winning theater, music, art, education, community events and more.
