A new Goat Barn Team is pursuing a comprehensive repurposing of the Commons Goat Barn to see it emerge as a functional community performance, rehearsal, storage, multipurpose cultural and recreational space. Drawing on their own experience in the Gabriola arts and performance scene, they also envisage the building itself becoming a canvas for community art.
