There is plenty to see for those who appreciate the visual arts. The Uxbridge Studio Tour is known as one of the GTA's best Studio Tours( Sept 15th & 16th)and features painters, sculptors, jewellers, fabric artists, photographers and more. There is a Juried Art Show with 52 selected works from artist across Ontario and a Children's Art Show featuring the works of our talented children at the Uxbridge Municipal Offices (on the 18th of Sept.)
Music Presentations

If your preference goes to Jazz in a bistro setting you can enjoy a cabaret evening of outstanding local talent including Tom Baker Pianist, Amy Peck saxophonist and her group, vocalist Whitney Barris, Piano virtuoso B.J. Byers, and stylist Carol Gibson.

Beautiful post, Kathy !
I rated it a 5 and flagged it for a feature at localism. Perhaps you will consider reposting it and adding it to the new Ontario Real Estate and Information group ...I would like to feature it there.
