Rich in inspiring natural beauty, Galiano Island has long attracted and sustained a thriving artistic community and has become a centre for artists, writers and craftspeople who love our relaxed and more laid back lifestyle. While planning your vacation, wedding or romantic getaway here to Galiano, come visit the websites listed here online or contact them directly. Relax and explore our art and craft galleries and wonderful giftshops.

They all present a wide spectrum of our diverse local Canadian Gulf Island talent. Everything from original paintings that capture the atmosphere, light and many moods of Galiano to beautiful hand-made wooden boxes, exquisitely made ceramics and pottery and kiln-fused sandblasted glasswork. There are also colourful hand-stitched pillows, hand-crocheted hats and scarves, gorgeous intaglio prints of the area and fine photography and jewellry. It is all here. In the summer, many of our Galiano artists' studios and exhibition sites are open special hours to the public for the annual Galiano Art Studio Tour. These locations are marked of a tour map sponsored and published by the Trincomali Community Arts Council which takes our visitors on a splendid artists' road trip around Galiano where they can meet the artists! This is a perfect opportunity to sample and come away with a special memory of our Island - an original piece of artwork from one of Galiano Island's painters, sculptors, potters, photographers and craftspeople.
