Community Garden

There are many ways to create climate outcomes for communities, and one such is by building resilient and inclusive local food systems. Natalie Moreno creates a reflection on the grounding practice of keeping a garden by presenting her piece Community Garden.

“Providence is home to over a dozen community gardens that contribute to a healthier local environment by improving soil and air quality, reducing waste, and creating habitats for wildlife. This utility box is inspired by my neighbor Henry’s garden where he grows tomatoes, peppers, and herbs.”

With this work, we connect local artists and the 195 District Park with the Providence Climate Justice Plan, centering The Avenue Concept’s vision to provide clear avenues for artists to create joy, dialogue, and inclusion in public art.

The Avenue Concept (TAC) launched its Utility Box Program to create an entry point for emerging and established artists to be part of a larger installation. TAC uses storytelling media to promote artists and build community around their stories through video, professional photography, digital design, social media, and press.
