Art in the Park

November 6 - January 13 Presented in partnership with Parks Canada Since 2008, the Art in the Park Programme has been connecting people to Glacier National Park through art. A group of artists spend four nights in a rustic cabin setting in Glacier National Park, exploring, photographing, sketching and, depending on their medium, producing works of art. The resulting artwork reveals meanings and relationships about Canada’s natural and cultural heritage and provides the viewer with a deep impression of and a sense of connection to these special places. The Art in the Park travelling exhibition extends this connection to urban audiences across the country.
