History

Established in 1999.

Artscape Gibraltar Point is one of Artscape’s most unique and tranquil properties, located in a secluded park setting with its own beachfront on Toronto Island. The project was catalyzed by a group of Toronto Island residents who contacted Artscape when the historic Toronto Island Public and Natural Science School was threatened with demolition. Working with key stakeholders, Artscape created a new vision for the site that included an an artist retreat, event spaces and long-​term artist work studios. Today, the site is a world-​renowned arts centre, giving the creative and non-​profit communities an affordable place to think, experiment, create and share ideas.

Artscape Gibraltar Point is operated by Artscape, a not-​for-​profit urban development organization that makes space for creativity and transforms communities.
