Gabriola Arts & Heritage Centre
The Gabriola Arts & Heritage Centre is at the top of the hill from the ferry, if you see a “gallery open” sandwich board there is an art show going on. GAHC is a heritage building and was gifted to the Gabriola Arts Council with the Women’s Institute of Gabriola. It was Gabriola’s original one-room school house, now it is used as a meeting place, performance space, and an art gallery.
