Vibrant Art Exhibits and Family Fun: What's On in Toowoomba Today

Explore Local Art and Culture

Monday in the Garden City offers a fantastic opportunity to beat the weekend crowds and immerse yourself in Toowoomba’s thriving arts scene. A highlight for today, Monday, 23 March 2026, is the Colour Pop exhibition held at the University of Southern Queensland (UniSQ) Art Gallery. Located on the ground floor of B Block at the West Street campus, this vibrant display features a range of contemporary works and is open to the public from 9:00 AM. It is a must-see for those looking for a burst of creative inspiration early in the week.

For history buffs, the Cobb+Co Museum remains a staple of our local cultural landscape. Open today from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM, the museum currently features several fascinating displays, including:

• Split, Sawn & Shaped: A deep dive into the traditional art of wheelwrighting.
• The Saddlery: An exhibition showcasing over 30 original tools used by local leather craftsmen to shape the region's transport history.
• National Carriage Collection: Home to more than 50 historic horse-drawn vehicles.

Family-Friendly Community Meetups

If you are looking for activities for the little ones, the Toowoomba Region Libraries have you covered. Today at 9:30 AM, the Toowoomba City Library hosts its regular First 5 Forever session. These interactive meetups are designed for families with children aged 0-5 and include a mix of reading, singing, and playing to support early literacy. For those further north, a similar session is also taking place at the Crows Nest Library at the same time.

Additionally, the Cobb+Co Museum is running its Little Cobbers program today. This weekday activity is specifically tailored for preschool-aged children during the school term, where kids can discover a new mystery object from the museum’s collection through stories and hands-on play.

Cinema and Theater Notices

Movie lovers can catch the latest blockbusters at BCC Grand Central today. Highly anticipated March releases currently on the big screen include the sci-fi epic Project Hail Mary starring Ryan Gosling, and the family-friendly animated feature GOAT. Check local session times for afternoon and evening screenings.

Finally, a quick reminder for theater-goers: today, Monday, 23 March, is the final day to secure early bird tickets for the upcoming Kings of Country Rock: Eagles vs Creedence show at the Empire Theatre. Prices are set to increase tomorrow, so it is a great time to book your seats for this May tribute performance.
