Artscape Gibraltar Point
Artscape Gibraltar Point is a peaceful beachfront arts centre on the Toronto Islands, just a 10-minute ferry ride away from downtown. The facility is brimming with creative energy—home to artist work studios, a busy artist residency program and exciting arts and cultural events. The building is surrounded by over 46 acres of parkland and is steps way from a beautiful sandy beach with stunning views of Lake Ontario. Nearby is the Gibraltar Point Lighthouse, Toronto’s oldest landmark.
Artscape Gibraltar Point is open year-round and operates as a social enterprise. Revenues from venue rentals support the building’s cultural programming and services.
