Chinese New Year Gala
Over the years, the M+ team has created and contributed to major community cultural events across the Greater Toronto Area and Eastern Canada, including multiple Chinese New Year Galas at the Mississauga Living Arts Centre, New Year celebrations in Moncton, and multicultural performances for Asian Heritage Month in Fredericton.
For us, community events are more than performances—they are opportunities to bring arts education into real community life. Through large-scale stages, cultural celebrations, and cross-cultural projects, we create opportunities for young people, families, and community artists to perform, collaborate, lead, and express themselves, building confidence while connecting generations and cultures through the arts.
多年来，我们持续参与并策划大多伦多地区及加拿大东部的重要社区文化活动，包括多届 Mississauga Living Arts Centre 春节晚会、Moncton 新年庆典，以及 Fredericton 亚洲文化月多元文化活动等。
对我们而言，社区活动不仅是一场演出，更是艺术教育走进真实社会的重要方式。我们希望通过这些大型舞台、文化庆典和跨文化项目，为青少年、家庭及社区艺术家创造更多表演、合作、领导与公共表达的机会，让艺术连接不同世代与文化，也让年轻人在真实的社区参与中建立自信、拓展视野。

多年来，我们在安大略省和新不伦瑞克省等地策划并参与了形式多样的音乐活动，从古典音乐会、美术馆音乐会和小型艺术空间演出，到社区音乐会、长者机构公益演出及跨领域音乐项目，让音乐走进不同的舞台与社区。
我们希望音乐不仅停留在课堂和练习室，更成为学生走上舞台、与专业艺术家合作、面对真实观众并连接社区的机会。从艺术空间到社区公共场所，每一次演出都是艺术学习的一部分，让年轻人在真实的音乐实践中培养表现力、自信、合作精神与对艺术的理解。
Over the years, the M+ team has created and participated in a wide range of musical events across Ontario and New Brunswick—from classical and gallery concerts to intimate performances, community concerts, performances for seniors, and interdisciplinary music projects—bringing music into diverse artistic and community settings.
We believe music should extend beyond the classroom and practice room. Through performances at venues such as the Beaverbrook Art Gallery and in community spaces, students have opportunities to step onto real stages, collaborate with artists, engage with audiences, and connect with their communities, building confidence, artistry, and a deeper understanding of music through real-world experience.
03
Exhibition
We have also been actively involved in curating and presenting visual arts and interdisciplinary exhibitions at professional arts institutions and public cultural spaces, including the McMichael Canadian Art Collection, Oakville’s Queen Elizabeth Park Community and Cultural Centre, Gallery on Queen, and Charlotte Street Arts Centre. Our projects have included Canada–China artist exchanges, youth art exhibitions, and multimedia arts initiatives, engaging a broad range of audiences and communities.
Through exhibitions, we aim to bring arts education beyond the classroom and create meaningful opportunities for young people, emerging creators, and community artists to present their work, experience curatorial practice, and engage with the public. We want their creative voices to be seen, discussed, and valued, while helping them build confidence and develop their own artistic expression through real-world arts experiences.
我们还长期策划并参与视觉艺术及跨媒体展览，相关项目曾进入 McMichael Canadian Art Collection、Oakville Queen Elizabeth Park Community and Cultural Centre 、Gallery on Queen, 夏洛特街艺术中心等专业艺术与公共文化空间，并举办加拿大与中国艺术家交流展、青年艺术展及多媒体艺术项目，获得了广泛的公众参与。
我们希望通过展览，让艺术学习真正走出课堂，为青少年、青年创作者及社区艺术家提供作品展示、策展实践和公共交流的机会，让他们的创作被看见、被讨论，并在真实的艺术环境中建立自信与自己的艺术表达。
04
International Events
We actively promote international arts and cultural exchange, creating connections between local artists, young creators, and cultural resources from different countries and regions. Our team has developed and participated in a range of international cultural exchange initiatives, including a major fashion and cultural event in collaboration with China’s Huayi Brothers, exchange visits between Ballet Atlantic Canada and educational institutions in China, as well as art exhibitions, stage performances, and youth arts exchange projects.
Through these experiences, we hope to create more opportunities for young people and artists to experience different cultures, broaden their global perspectives, exchange creative ideas, and create together—using the arts as a bridge between our local communities and the wider world.
我们也积极推动国际艺术与文化交流，通过跨地域、跨文化的合作，让本地艺术家、青年创作者与不同国家和地区的文化资源建立连接。团队曾参与并策划多项国际文化交流项目，包括与中国华谊兄弟合作举办大型时尚文化活动、推动加拿大大西洋芭蕾舞团与中国院校的交流访问，以及艺术展览、舞台演出和青少年艺术交流等项目。
我们希望通过这些交流，为青少年和艺术家创造更多认识不同文化、拓展国际视野、交流创意与共同创作的机会，让艺术成为连接本地社区与世界的一座桥梁。
05
我们始终相信，艺术应该真正走进社区、走近生活。多年来，我们持续开展形式亲切而富有品质的社区音乐与艺术活动，让学生、家庭和社区居民能够在日常生活中近距离接触专业艺术家与高水平的艺术表演。
例如，我们曾与 Yamaha Canada 合作，邀请来自加拿大国家芭蕾舞团交响乐团（National Ballet of Canada Orchestra）及加拿大歌剧公司（Canadian Opera Company）的专业音乐家，把音乐会带进社区，以更加亲近、互动的方式与家庭和观众分享音乐。我们希望通过这样的活动，让艺术不只存在于音乐厅和剧院，也成为连接艺术家、学生、家庭与社区的一种温暖而真实的力量。
We believe the arts should be part of everyday community life. Over the years, we have created welcoming, high-quality community music and arts experiences, giving students, families, and local audiences opportunities to engage closely with professional artists and live performance.
For example, in collaboration with Yamaha Canada, we welcomed professional musicians from the National Ballet of Canada Orchestra and the Canadian Opera Company, bringing intimate musical experiences directly into the community. Through programs like these, we hope the arts can extend beyond concert halls and theatres to create meaningful connections between artists, students, families, and the community.
06 Community Storytelling
我们长期通过影像、摄影、采访与数字故事记录社区，讲述我们在加拿大的生活与文化经验。从多媒体展览 《Immigrant Memories｜移民记忆》、影像项目 《Fall in Love with Canada》，到2025年为新不伦瑞克省亚洲文化机构制作的 《We From Asia》，我们不断尝试让普通人的经历成为值得被看见、被聆听和被保存的故事。
目前，由加拿大政府资助、密西沙加华人艺术团主导并由 我们具体策划实施的 “Voices Across Generations｜世代之声”，进一步通过长者访谈、青年参与和 Digital Storytelling，记录华裔社区的生命故事与文化记忆，让不同世代在讲述与倾听中彼此连接。
We have long used film, photography, interviews, and digital storytelling to document our communities and share stories of life and cultural experience in Canada. From the multimedia exhibition Immigrant Memories and the visual project Fall in Love with Canada to We From Asia, produced in 2025 for an Asian cultural organization in New Brunswick, our work brings everyday experiences into stories that can be seen, heard, and remembered.
Our current project, Voices Across Generations—funded by the Government of Canada, led by the Mississauga Chinese Arts Organization, and developed and implemented by Charles Pan—continues this practice through senior interviews, youth participation, and digital storytelling, preserving community memories while creating meaningful connections across generations.
