Canmore's Public Art Collection

Public art is an enhancement that contributes to public improvement or civic construction projects by creating, reinforcing, and enhancing a community’s sense of place.

Municipalities gain social, cultural, and economic value through public art displays, adding meaning and uniqueness to our neighbourhoods.

Canmore's public art program began in 2003. Through the program, we commission permanent artworks and support temporary art programs.

Eight out of the ten pieces in the collection were created by Canmore artists.
