Summary:

"This book documents the non-profit Evergreen{u2019}s public art program in Toronto{u2019}s Lower Don River Valley from 2017 through 2024. Twenty-five art and research projects commissioned and presented by Evergreen are reproduced here alongside new essays, interviews, roundtable discussions, and process images. Together the publication coheres current discussions on temporary, sustainable, collaborative, and site-responsive public art, and explores the role of artists in deepening our engagement with complex landscapes like the Don River." -- from https://artmetropole.com/shop/16700 (viewed 5 March 2026).

Notes:

Limited edition of 500 copies.

"This catalogue offers a case study of a public art program as a long-term and collective engagement with a site. The program started from, and always returns to, the Don River Valley. Each artist's project has in some way been shaped and informed by the river valley and its many overlapping histories, contexts, and constituents - be they human, plant or animal.
