ABOUT THE GIBRALTAR POINT INTERNATIONAL ARTIST RESIDENCY
PROGRAM
The Gibraltar Point Residency transcends political,
aesthetic and geographic boundaries, welcomes diversity
and provides a spawning ground for unique cultural
alliances. The program is open to Canadian and
international artists working in all disciplines who are
engaged in the research, development or creation of work.
Emerging, mid-career and established professional artists
are invited to apply. Participants in the residency
program receive accommodation, a private work studio and
all meals at no cost. Travel and material costs are the
responsibility of participating artists.
The residency program aims to further the professional
development of artists by: enabling the creation and
production of new work; fostering an exchange of ideas and
influences; encouraging the sharing of expertise;
inspiring new works of art and creative collaborations;
and building relationships between artists working in
different media. The program is designed and managed by
Artscape and takes place for a single 30-day term each
calendar year at the Gibraltar Point Centre for the Arts
on Toronto Island.
ABOUT THE GIBRALTAR POINT CENTRE FOR THE ARTS AND TORONTO
ISLAND
Situated on the south-western beachfront of Toronto
Island, The Gibraltar Point Centre for the Arts owes its
name to its location marked by Toronto's oldest landmark -
the Gibraltar Point Lighthouse, which was erected in 1808.
Operated by Artscape, this 30,000 square foot unique
facility provides permanent studio space to more than a
dozen artists and a Retreat Centre which can be rented for
a variety of functions. In addition to hosting the
Residency Program, the Gibraltar Point Centre for the Arts
features Artscape Lodge; a short-term rental service with
accommodation and work studios for up to 13 visiting
artists.
Toronto Island is a peaceful 230-hectare natural park in
Toronto's harbour, a short 15-minute ferry ride from the
thriving downtown core of Canada's cultural capital. The
Island is part of the Carolinian Zone which includes flora
and fauna not found anywhere else in Canada. Naturalized
areas and wildlife reserves make it a popular stopover
point for southern song birds. The Island is also home to
approximately 800 individuals whose remarkable community
boasts one of the highest per capita populations of
artists in Canada and is the largest urban car-free
community in North America.
