With 2024 coming to a close at Uxbridge Arts and Culture, it’s time to reflect on a successful year of programming and take a break before getting back into another year of classes, workshops, events and exhibitions.
Thank you to everyone who dropped by in 2024. We wish you all a happy holiday and all the best for 2025.
Uxbridge will take a quick break from December 20 and will be back in action from January 13.
Next year opens with another packed summer holiday programme for kids beginning on January 17.
Designed for children aged six years old and up, our holiday programme offers workshops in painting, mixed media, crochet, sewing, (no bake) cooking and pottery.
This upcoming programme includes individual workshops and full-day options.
Registrations are now open via the Uxbridge website and filling fast so check out what’s on offer and get in quick. Last holiday’s programme was a sellout!
For a casual summer offering we have a couple of kids films on offer this summer, helping us kick off our 2025 theatre programme.
On January 17 we screen the classic Shrek followed on January 24 by Frozen.
Tickets are just $5 and include free popcorn. Make a booking online to ensure you secure a seat.
For anyone passing by Uxbridge over Christmas and New Year, you can drop by to experience our outdoor augmented reality artwork Morning Star XR by Karen Sewell.
This digital artwork can be seen with your smartphone via a QR code available outside Uxbridge main entrance – a little summer art to tide you through the holidays.
