Virtual Art & Nature Program

Can’t make it out to Leighton Art Centre? We’ll bring Leighton Art Centre to you!

Using bones and antlers of local animals as well as photos and images we will explore the Foothills Region. Students will be guided through a landscape drawing and sketching game. We will share stories about the history of the Leightons and their contribution to Canada, Alberta, and Calgary. Through these stories, students will learn about the importance of art to the development of our region.
