The Toronto Sculpture Garden has been the site of innovative contemporary installations since 1981. This small, urban park, located at 115 King Street East, near Church Street and opposite St. James' Cathedral, enables sculptors to experiment with public space and to address issues of architectural scale, materials and context. It is the product of a unique partnership between the City of Toronto, which owns and operates it as a city park, and the Louis L. Odette family, who created a non-profit foundation to fund the exhibitions. The installations are changed every six months.
The Sculpture Garden gives some artists their first opportunity to work out-of-doors and to experiment with the challenges of situating work within an urban environment. Many undertake their first public commissions after exhibiting in the Toronto Sculpture Garden.
