ALCHEMY is an artist-led international residency offering time and space for participants to explore the intersections between their creative and social practices in a unique community setting. Founded in 2015 on the Toronto Islands, Alchemy’s pillars of activity are food, art, garden and table — all inspired by the gardens and long time creative community at the Gibraltar Point Centre for the Arts. Alchemy Island 2025 is an opportunity for artists to create and make art, food and conversation with community members and guest artists. Gibraltar Point Centre for the Arts is a peaceful artist retreat nestled against the magnificent backdrop of Toronto Island – the largest car-free community in North America and 15 minutes by ferry to Toronto’s downtown core.

Fees: $1350 CAD for accommodation, studio space, five shared suppers. Letters of support happily provided.
