Art plays a crucial role in the development of modern, vibrant cities. Public art brings awareness of the spaces we move through, it transforms landscapes and adds texture and interest, it can express community values and has the power to shape Calgary’s image. The City's public art program is committed to acquiring great public art that impacts Calgary’s urban landscape and transforms the way Calgarians see, think, and experience the city around them.
