Announcing the 2025 RMG Fridays Season

February 24, 2025

Welcome to 2025! We’re excited to share our plan for RMG Fridays this year. Between April and November, we will present five themed events welcoming a variety of community partners. Each event will offer live musical presentations, access to our galleries, opportunities to create in our art studio, enjoy food from local vendors, and more.

RMG Fridays will launch on April 4 in partnership with Oshawa Music Week featuring musical performances by students from the Music Business Program at Durham College. Our second event on May 2 will be a celebration of the thesis projects by the third-year graduating students of the Fine Arts Advanced program at Durham College.

On June 6, we’ll host our annual Pride Celebration in our beautiful backyard. On August 8, From the Ground Up, will be a celebration of Indigenous Peoples Dance and World Cultural expressions from local groups around Durham Region.

On November 14, as part of the Bright & Merry Market, we’ll host a winter Fiesta featuring live music, dance classes, holiday market and workshops.

Thanks for your ongoing support of this series, we’ll see you here for the party!
