The Gathering of the Arts, also known as GoArts, is held each summer at the People's Place Library in downtown Antigonish. The event includes a juried visual art exhibit which is displayed in the library’s gallery space during the months of July and August. The Opening Ceremony is held on the Monday evening that kicks off the Highland Games.

Throughout the duration of the exhibit, GoArts also presents and promotes artist demonstrations, readings, and performances from local artists, writers and musicians.
