Art Produce Garden: Sustainable Urban Design
|
Art Produce Garden is a public art & performance space focused on aesthetic, educational and sustainable green practices. In 2010 it was transformed from an asphalt parking lot into an urban orchard and organic vegetable garden. Today our garden hosts film screenings, performances, art installations and community events. It incorporates an outdoor classroom and workspace into an urban garden that includes a rainwater catchment system and a PV solar energy system as it expands the cultural community engagement programming of our gallery to the outdoors.
