Cool Gardens 2019: Call for Submissions
Expired on 15 Apr 2019

Cool Gardens 2019: Call for Submissions now is over!


CALL FOR ENTRIES: Presented by StorefrontMB and The Forks, Cool Gardens 2019 now is calling for submissions, seeking creative entries that prompt curiosity, play, and appreciation of urban spaces by highlighting the significance of nature, art, and design.


Cool Gardens is a public exhibition of contemporary garden and art installations that offers a shift of sensation for the summer—cooling—as a general theme for public projects in Winnipeg’s downtown. The competition will feature locally, nationally, and internationally acclaimed artists and practitioners in the Winnipeg con-text, highlighting the value of art and design in public space.

Presented by StorefrontMB and The Forks, Cool Gardens was established as a central Canadian counterpart to the Reford / Jardin de Metis concept, celebrating the interface between nature, art, architecture, urbanism, and design. The exhibition has run in Winnipeg for the past six years, with 2019 marking the seventh annual event. Cool Gardens brings architects, landscape architects, designers, artists, and the public together, cel-ebrating the interface between architecture, urbanism, landscape, and design. Guidelines:

The Call for Entries 2019 seeks creative entries that prompt curiosity, play, and appreciation of urban spaces by highlighting the significance of nature, art, and design. Central to Cool Gardens is the idea that contemporary design can instigate participation in public spaces in interactive, critical, poetic, and meaningful ways.
The intention of this emergent festival is to provoke questions about our public spaces and about the role of landscape architecture and design to give enhanced meaning and value to our urban culture. Cool Gardens thus animates our public spaces with a critical collection of experiences - expanding the idea of what a garden might be.

While there is no overarching competition theme, entrants are expected to be responsive to the specificity of site within the overall framework of cooling. Proponents may also wish to indicate how their garden would be feasible to re-mount in subsequent years.

The garden competition site is located east of the Canadian Museum for Human Rights and at the southwest foot of the Esplanade Riel pedestrian / cycle bridge. The site is thus situated at the heart of Winnipegʼs tourism hub and is easily accessible to visitors. The site hosts views onto the surrounding Forks area, the Red River, and nearby landmarks, including the Museum and the Esplanade Riel. The curvilinear path of the Forks River Walk forms the eastern and southern boundary of the site. The resulting shape of the site is an irregular semi-circular plot, approximately 30m wide and 50m in length... for more details consult official website.
