Artscape Gibraltar Point

Located in the former Toronto Island Public and Natural Science School, Artscape Gibraltar Point offers 35,000 square feet of affordable retreat space, artist studios and accommodations for artists and creative thinkers. The tranquil, idyllic setting is world-renowned as a centre for members of the artistic and non-profit communities to think, experiment, collaborate and share ideas.

More than 800 artists have experimented and created art through self-directed artist retreats and thematic residencies hosted in our overnight accommodations. In addition to visiting artists, fifteen long-term artist work studios provide space for a range of painters, sculptors, musicians, theatre companies and a recording studio – all of whom contribute to the unique and collaborative atmosphere at Artscape Gibraltar Point.

Over 600 charitable and not-for-profit groups have used the centre’s conference facilities to host staff retreats, training sessions, strategic planning and more. Artscape Gibraltar Point also plays host to private events, managed by our Artscape Event Services team. As well, a number of unique partnerships have brought arts and music festivals to the centre’s grounds (and semi-private beach) – including the ALL CAPS Festival, the New Traditions Festival, the JanSport Bonfire Sessions and more.
