Artscape Lodge

Artscape Lodge is a program that offers artists affordable short-term studio and accommodation rentals at Artscape Gibraltar Point on the Toronto Islands. The Toronto Islands are a peaceful nature park in Toronto's harbour, just a short ferry ride away from the downtown core of Canada’s cultural capital. Naturalized areas and wildlife reserves make it a popular stopover point for southern songbirds.The Islands are 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.

Artscape Lodge provides space to artists who want to focus on their work in a distraction-free environment. It is also ideal for artists who do not have full-time studios and require temporary workspace. Some artists come to conduct research, others to meet an impending deadline, and still others to take advantage of an environment that is highly conducive to creativity. We have welcomed artists from Toronto as well as from the rest of Canada, the U.S. and as far away as Singapore.

Short-term studio and accommodation rentals at Artscape Lodge are available year-round at weekly and monthly rates for visual artists, writers, musicians, dancers and more. Custom and group bookings are also available. Explore our rates and amenities.
