In the charity's own words
theCOLAB unites people, land and art by commissioning expansive sculptural works in unusual outdoor spaces. It created The Artist's Garden, the world's first free sculpture garden dedicated to the work of women artists on the once neglected roof terrace above Temple Tube Station in Central London, which offers new perspectives on sculpture in public and inspiring educational outreach programmes.
