For any of my followers who live in Alberta or BC or are planning on visiting Banff, Alberta in the summer, there is a gorgeous free outdoor art exhibition (July 1 to September 30) called "Art in Nature Trail". (see the link for all the artist profiles- I love how many female artists are represented!!)
I've gone for the past few years when I just happened to stumble across it one day. Now I try to visit every summer. It's a really peaceful walk along the Bow River aways from the hoards of tourists shopping in the Banff town center.
Begun in 2021, it has become a meticulously curated collection of over 65 awe-inspiring art installations, masterfully crafted by esteemed Canadian Artists. These creations span a diverse range of mediums, each piece carefully selected to harmonize with the surrounding natural landscape. This exhibition isn't inside a gallery, and you don't need a ticket. Beginning at the Banff Park Museum, travel along the Bow River Trail, across the pedestrian bridge, towards Bow Falls, and then return back to Central Park via the new Nancy Pauw Bridge.
The event is free, open to the public and is a self-guided tour.
Everytime I've walked it, I've always seen deer, so I always look forward to that part!
