It’s another Thanksgiving weekend not to be missed on Gabriola Island. You'll get a warm welcome into more than 45 studios, which features over 60 artists including Indigenous art by Snuneymuxw Nation artists.
Each year more and more artists move to the Isle of the Arts, making Gabriola Island one of the coolest creative hubs around.
The Thanksgiving Studio Tour helps support the artists working in a variety of mediums: woodworking, glass, textiles, sculptures, paintings and drawings. The bonus is you get to explore this quaint and quirky island just 20 minutes away from Nanaimo.
Bring your car along on the 20 minute BC Ferries ride or jump on the Gabriola bus and enjoy these artists as you explore the "Island of the Arts."
