Overview
Artscape Gibraltar Point opened in 1999. Housed in a former school surrounded by 46 acres of parkland, it is operated by Artscape (Artscape.ca) as an arts and cultural facility, open year-round. Over the years Artscape Gibraltar Point has hosted thousands of artists both local and international, who have taken advantage of the facility’s quiet and natural setting to focus on their practices and projects through short-term residencies and long-term studio rentals. Artscape Gibraltar Point has also become recognized as a perfect place to host a variety of events. Please visit our Event Rentals page to learn more.
