What does 'reclaimed, recycled or salvagedmaterials' mean?
In the spirit of the sustainability mandate of EvergreenBrick Works, all proposed designs must contain at least
50% existing, reclaimed, or recycled materials. These
materials must be non-virgin, with some previous use
or purpose, and/or materials destined for landfill or
waste had they not been used in the submission.These are materials that the artists themselves must
procure, and will not be provided by Design by Nature
or Evergreen Brick Works.
Where will the installations/pieces be displayed?
The installations will be dotted through the Evergreen
BrickWorks campus with some pieces installed inside
and outside. Pieces should be designed to withstand
the rigors of an unsupervised public environment. Weencourage functional pieces of furniture that can be
easily moved around the site and do not take up too
much space.

Can I tour the installation locations beforesubmitting an application?
Artists are welcome to join in a site tour of Evergreen
Brick Works prior to submission deadline. Please
contact [email protected] for available dates.
Otherwise, artists are free to visit the Evergreen Brick
Works Site site on their own time, during public visiting
hours. http://ebw.evergreen.ca/visit
Within what dimensions can I design myinstallation/piece to be?
Any size of piece will be considered. However, keep in
mind the location and scale, and public nature of the
installation sites. Monumental pieces may have trouble
fitting at the proposed installation locations, and small,
precious pieces may not be suitable for an
unsupervised public environment.
Can I submit a proposal if I have submittedpreviously, or won previously?
Yes, you may submit again!
How many proposals can I submit?

Each artist may submit up to four distinct proposals for
a piece. Please use the same application for all pieces,
and submit a number description and images that
correspond to number of pieces submitted.
Will the public have access to myinstallation/piece?
All installations/pieces will be located in the public
access spaces of Evergreen Brick Works, where all
visitors will be able visitors to see, touch and interact
with your submission. Some pieces may be exhibited
outdoors, if appropriate, and so it is best to design
submissions to withstand the rigors of an unsupervised
public environment as well as outdoor conditions.
Although Evergreen Brick Works visitors are a
respectful bunch, you should expect to have your
submission explored by children, which means that
they should be safe to touch, sit on, lean against, or
enter.
