Over the past five years, Evergreen’s Public Art Program has engaged audiences with the Evergreen Brick Works site and surrounding ravine system through a series of temporary art projects with established and emerging contemporary artists. Our approach is multi-pronged, inviting artists to activate underutilized sites, collaborate with Evergreen’s programs, partners and visitors, and tell the stories of the site, the city and the surrounding river valley. Evergreen engages local, national and international artists in creating site-responsive, place-based works. Evergreen’s public art projects are designed to be temporary, of short and long duration, and artist-lead.
Through partnerships with municipal government and the community, we will continue to launch complex, provocative projects varying in scope and scale. Projects may range from murals, performances and sculpture to research, photography and text. This program is committed to connecting and engaging a diversity of voices from various disciplines through strong partnerships, collaborations and co-creations. We strive to support and invite artists from a wide range of backgrounds through our commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion, both onsite at Evergreen Brick Works and in the ravine-sited projects each year.
The Public Art Program is a key place-making component of Evergreen’s work, both in the ravines and at the Brick Works site, reflecting the organization’s core values of connection, sustainability and innovation.

We are seeking to contract a Curator to contribute their unique skills and expertise to the Evergreen Program Team. Providing services as an Independent Contractor, the Curator will steward the existing 2021 Public Art Program, and shape the strategy and vision of this program into the future.
