The Convergence

The Convergence comprises four steel spires up to 6 meters tall, a 6.2‑metre waterfall entitled The Braid, a bronze band of text drawn from the historical record, and hedgerows of native shrub planting. 

Taken together, the total work by artist Tony Bloom defines the eastern threshold of the Victoria Promenade, and is the featured sculptural element of the half-kilometre-long park along Edmonton’s North Saskatchewan River Valley designed by Doug Carlyle, Carlyle + Associates. The design process began in 1989 and the piece was unveiled on August 12, 1990.

The Convergence embodies a convergence point for people, for water; for the city and nature; for earth and sky.
