After a long and frequently joyful, but every now and again gruelling year, ArtsHub is closing its doors for the festive season to give its passionate, industrious and indefatigable team behind the scenes some very well-earned rest and recuperation. The offices will be shuttered from close of business 24 December 2024 to 2 January 2025.

It’s been a mixed bag for those in the arts this year, with funding woes leading to beloved institutions like La Mama deciding to take a pause on programming next year, while in the visual arts sector some galleries have closed their doors, but others, happily, have increased their reach.
