An award winning outdoor community space framed by shipping containers at the Vaughan Metropolitan Centre that reinvents itself through its art program and temporal character, acting as a venue for multiple cultural and community functions.

The public art program at Assembly Park launched in spring/summer 2022 with an inaugural exhibition titled "Transitions" spanning 464 ft of shipping containers throughout The Gardens.

The Gardens at Assembly Park Outdoor Gallery - Transitions:

Change is a constant and the fluid moments between fixed states can foster rich experiences. The theme of transition honours the journey of Assembly Park and its current passage into the creation of a future community. Multidisciplinary and site-specific artworks on panels blur the boundaries of time, referencing the past and future while celebrating the present. This concept sees change as a series of points of connection, and is a tribute to the multiple ways that individuals form community within states of change and as we collectively experience transitions.
