Ephemeral Gardens

The Canadians have a thing for garden design events. This one sounded interesting.

The Ephemeral Gardens will be an artistic event where creators from different horizons are invited to bring an artistic viewpoint on the major themes of Québec City's 400th anniversary.

This viewpoint will be expressed through creator gardens : outdoor creations using mediums that combine different elements, including plant materials. The gardens will be on view at Espace 400e , a focal point of the festivities to be created alongside Louise basin in downtown Québec City. The goal is to create 6 contemporary art gardens. This call for proposals is aimed at seasoned and budding creators. They may be architects, landscape architects, or visual artists and may be from Québec City, Canada, or countries historically linked to Québec City: France, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Registration deadline is January 31, 2007
