Calgary Art In Nature was set up in 1999 it's aim was to site pieces of sculpture within the woodland at Calgary that will provoke & enlighten a general awareness of art in nature.
At Calgary the woods have become a very important part of the landscape and need to be preserved. The trees' upper branches have been sculpted by the westerly winds and the atmosphere within is unique to beech woodlands, being very dry and sheltered.
The sculptures can enhance these emotions and perhaps encourage people to enter the wood who wouldn't normally go. Visitors can discover for themselves a different way of seeing and an alternative view of an area that many think they know well.
Placing works of art in such an environment can make one appreciate the wonderful natural shapes which are abundant here in rock and tree.
The upkeep of the woods and the funding of new sculpture is only possible by donations, if you have enjoyed walking through the wood please support by donating.
At Calgary the woods have become a very important part of the landscape and need to be preserved. The trees' upper branches have been sculpted by the westerly winds and the atmosphere within is unique to beech woodlands, being very dry and sheltered. The trees, majestically tall, with their foliage near the top make the woods feels open and airy. The cliffs and scattered moss-covered boulders, that sit as if they have been there forever, give an impression of time lost, an ancient wood, a magical place.
