Living City Art Exhibition
2017
The Living City Art Exhibition was a community engagement and curatorial project developed in partnership with Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) and Evergreen. TRCA retained PROCESS team members to engage new audiences in conversations around the TRCA’s Living City Report Card. The report card is a progress report on environmental sustainability in the Toronto region and aims to answer three (3) important questions: How are we doing? Where have we excelled? On what issues do we need to work even harder?
We invited emerging, mid-career and established artists or artist collectives to work collaboratively with TRCA environmental experts to create new artworks focusing on themes identified in The Living City Report Card - carbon, air quality, water, waste, land use, biodiversity and collaboration. The project culminated in an interdisciplinary exhibition, which is intended to foster dialogue about the issues and potential solutions outlined in The Living City Report Card, inspire innovative and creative thinking about environmental issues and provide an opportunity for artists and environmentalists working within the Toronto region to collaborate. The first exhibition was held at Evergreen Brick Works in Toronto and is now travelling throughout the GTHA. It also lives in a website, accessible here:
