Annual Salon of Long Term Tenants at Gibraltar Point Center for the Arts


Gibraltar Point Center for the Arts opens its doors for a day of art and music!

Coinciding with Toronto's ArtsWeek and Toronto Island's Rogue Wave, the Long Term Tenants of GPCA come together annually in this first kickoff event to present individual or collaborative works inspired by their own Island experience.  With the doors opening at 12 noon, the public are invited to view video and sound installations, sculpture, and a diversity of art works on the walls of the Center.  From 7-10p.m., the salon evening will rock with music from The Gas Station, a cash bar, and participating artists on hand to talk about their work.  The Long Term artist work studios at Gibraltar Point Center for the Arts on Toronto Island are occupied by a mix of painters, writers, performance artists, ceramists, sculptors, musicians, theatre companies, and a recording studio. This annual arts event is a way for the Long Term Tenants of Gibraltar Point to celebrate our ongoing association with each other and the Island environment that inspires us.
