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 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.
