Canada Takes Centre Stage at MASA

As guest country at the Marché des Arts du Spectacle d’Abidjan (MASA, Abidjan Performing Arts Market) in 2020, Canada will promote its dynamic and diverse arts sector on the stages and streets of Abidjan in the Ivory Coast.

Canada’s invitation to MASA is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate pluralism, diversity of cultural expression, and the ties between Africa and its diaspora. It is also a remarkable opportunity to develop renewed artistic dialogue between Canada and West Africa and across the continent. In collaboration with Global Affairs Canada and the Québec Government Office in Abidjan, the Canada Council for the Arts is proud to fund and coordinate the participation of Canadian artists in MASA 2020
