Evergreen Brick Works’
Permanent Art Installations and Exhibitions

Location:
Toronto, Ontario
Evergreen Brick Works is home to several installations and exhibitions reflecting on the ecological, industrial,
and cultural heritage of both the Brick
Works, the site of the former Don Valley
Pressed Brick Works Company factory
located on the Don River flood plain,
and Toronto. From large scale portraits
of former brick plant employees to a
“living map” of the City made of steel,
brick and a variety of plants, these art
exhibits speak to the intersection between natural and urban environments
as the foundation of communities and
the city of Toronto.
