annualth20

Over the past 20 years, Gabriola has witnessed a burst of artistic activity. The Thanksgiving Studio Tour has been instrumental in promoting and encouraging artists to share their work, and in this, its 20th year, we want to celebrate!

We want to celebrate the artists—both those who’ve been part of the tour for years and those who are more recent additions who colour our daily lives. We want to celebrate the art lovers who trek around the island with map and hot apple cider in hand to visit the artists and their studios. We want to celebrate those of you who take home a piece of Gabriola art and, in turn, support the strong artistic community which makes Gabriola a beautiful place to live. We want to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the fabulous Thanksgiving Studio Tour! Make a weekend of it and join us!

There is something for everyone on this 20th Tour! From woodwork and glass, to textiles and sculpture, from leatherwork to basketry, to illustration and jewellery, from painting and photography, to ceramics and mixed media. And don’t miss the Preview Gallery. It’s available throughout the weekend at the Hive Emporium. If you can’t make it to every studio you can see a piece of work from every participating artist; it’s a great overview of what our artists are up to.

Also, new this year is the Studio Passport! See page 34 for details.

We are the Isle of the ArtsGabriola Island is a thriving artistic community, drawing artists, art lovers, and art supporters from all around the world. As residents of the Isle of the Arts, we live in a world where cloudy paint strokes, glass stars, wooden creatures, and silver linings are with us in our day-to-day lives. We attract more artists to move here every year, and that’s resulted in Gabriola Island having the sixth highest concentration of artists in the workforce in Canada (Hills Strategies Report, 2011). Gabriola Island is also a gorgeous place, full of inspiring, natural, and artistic wonders. The people and businesses on this island work together to make it a satisfying and culturally rich place to live or visit.

Check out the advertisers in these pages and on our website for your guide to the best that Gabriola has to offer.

Every day is a celebration of culture on this Isle of the Arts! We host four annual events: winter’s Annual Gala Fundraiser in January;

spring’s Isle of the Arts Festival in April; summer’s Gabriola Theatre Festival in August; and fall’s popular Thanksgiving Studio Tour in October.

We also offer our year-round Healing Power of Art program, and annual Youth Engagement Project. You can become a member and receive our

regular e-newsletter for only $15 a year!
