Two years ago today, we were putting the final touches on our meet & greet event to introduce Morgan and Duncan MacRae as the new owners of The Masonic! We’re still so grateful for the connections we made that evening. Time certainly flies when you’re having fun (and working on a 130 year old building!).

In case you’re curious about what the inside of The Masonic is looking like these days… 🪟

And don’t worry, historically significant artifacts and elements were safely removed, packaged and stored offsite 📦

While you may not be able to tell by looking at the exterior of The Masonic, a lot has been happening behind the scenes for the Project.

See what’s on the go by checking out the link in the comments where you’ll find an update that includes a Q&A with our business feasibility consultant, Sabrina Richard.

Yesterday, The Masonic team had the absolute privilege of visiting The New Dawn Centre and Eltuek Arts Centre in Sydney, Nova Scotia to learn about their work and how their values and principles align with our project. The conversations we had with the team there were invaluable. What an amazing and inspiring day, and we can’t thank those we met with enough for making the time for us. If you’re ever in the area, we highly recommend adding the centre to your plans! 💕

Here’s a look into Where to from Here: A conversation about the future of arts and culture hosted by The Masonic Project.

A big thanks to all participants and everyone who helped bring together two and a half days of learning, sharing and exploring strategies that support the many aspects of a successful arts and culture community in NL.

And thank you, Up Sky Down Films, for capturing these moments⭐️

As we approach the holiday season, we wanted to share one of the many highlights of 2023 for The Masonic Project.

Earlier this year, we partnered with Trinity Hall, Winterton NL to ensure the historic pipe organ, which was housed on The Masonic's top floor, found a new home where it could be loved and enjoyed for many years to come.

Here is the story of just how this partnership and journey came to be.

Happy watching and happy holidays! 🌲 Here’s to 2024! 🎉
