Prepare to be inspired as Mount Allison celebrates the Year of Culture and Creativity. The Year of Culture and Creativity will emphasize the role that traditional ‘arts’ departments and programs such as Fine Arts, Music, and Drama play at Mount Allison. It will also recognize and celebrate the creative role that all scholars bring to their respective disciplines.
