The Uptown Stage & Screen

If we managed to score something from our give away today, we would love to see pics/hear stories of where it is going. Many of these items were dear to us and we are happy to see them going to good homes.

Thank you to everyone that came to see us today. It meant a lot to be surrounded by friends and familiar faces on our final day.

Last minute Pick & Pull at the Uptown tomorrow (Aug 22) from 11:00am - 1:30pm. Everything must be out by 1:30pm at the latest. Lots of left overs from over the years at the Uptown including furniture, restaurant equipment, projection supplies and buckets of Terrazzo floor tiles left over from demolition. This is not a media event, just a chance to come and say goodbye to this wonderful venue and maybe grab an Uptown souvenir!!

The Uptown has made the business decision to cease operations of the Uptown Stage and Screen and Marquee Room and is vacating the Barron Building.

In light of movie piracy and the popularity of internet services such as Netflix, industry prospects are poor for cinemas specialising in "Art House" product.

We are intensely proud of our past programming and many contributions over twenty years to film, music, live theatre, dance, visual arts, and other artistic and cultural programming.

We thank the people of Calgary for all the years of support. We are grateful to all of the film and music fans, the artists, the event organizers, and our many partners who contributed to our award-winning programming. Particular gratitude goes to our many staff who have helped realise the dream of reviving the historic venue.

The Uptown Stage and Screen was built in 1951 and operated as the Uptown Theatre until 1988. Current management purchased the historic theatre and building above it in 1992.

The Uptown management remains committed to supporting the Arts in Calgary and hopes to remain active in its' support.
