The Art of Discovering Gabriola’s Amazing Talent…

Gabriola enjoys a high proportion of professional artists – ranking sixth per capita in Canada! Every day is a celebration of creativity in this community of more than 200 writers, actors, painters, dancers, musicians and potters.

The Gabriola Arts Council – the biggest little arts council in BC – ensures you have plenty of opportunity to engage creatively through three annual events … the spring Isle of the Arts Festival, the summer Cultivate Festival and the fall Thanksgiving Studio Tour.

You can also enjoy renowned local and visiting musicians, speakers and other performers who are putting on events year round. Indeed, it’s rare for a week to go by without a special event, performance, show or concert.

Did you know…whatever the reason, and wherever the venue, when the community of Gabriola gets together it’s always a celebration of the lifestyle, environment, and most of all, the people who live here.
