Mason Arts' “digital venue” is evolving once more with a new name for the online platform: Mason Arts Amplified. Formerly known as Mason Arts at Home, this curated collection features arts experiences, including digitally released performances, panel discussions, behind-the-scenes talks with artists, and more.
Director of Programming Adrienne Bryant Godwin notes, “Over the past few years, artists and audiences learned that we didn’t need a theater to be able to engage with inspiring artistic works. After launching Mason Arts at Home in April 2020, we quickly saw the incalculable benefits of providing access to high quality arts programming on a digital platform.” Mason Arts Amplified features both free and pay-to-view options from professional touring artists presented by the Center for the Arts and Hylton Performing Arts Center, as well as faculty, students, and alumni from George Mason University’s College of Visual and Performing Arts.
“Mason Arts at Home was established at the height of the pandemic, when we most needed digital access to the arts— and when we were all encouraged to stay ‘at home.’ With the new title, Mason Arts Amplified, the streaming platform is growing beyond its pandemic roots and asserting itself as a mainstay digital venue in the Mason community.”
