Gibraltar Point Centre for the Arts is a unique facility operated by Toronto Artscape. The 30,000 square foot building provides permanent studio space to more than a dozen artists and a Retreat Centre which can be rented for a variety of functions. Gibraltar Point Centre inherited its site from The Island Public and Natural Science School. The Centre owes its name to its location marked by Toronto s oldest landmark - the Gibraltar Point Lighthouse, which was erected in 1808. There is also one large studio which can accommodate a variety of artistic activity including some small-scale performance work.
All studios have excellent natural light.
The program will assist artists with their equipment and applicants are asked to include a detailed list of their needs. Photographers are expected to develop off site, at their own expense. Accommodation - On site accommodation consists of bright, cozy, residency style private bedrooms, shared bathrooms and showers. Residents have access to a laundry room, common lounge and fully equipped kitchen. The Mainland Ferry terminal, located at Bay Street and Queen's Quay West, is a ten-minute walk from Union Station.
