A vibrant and open space for creativity, Leighton Art Centre operates a heritage home, museum, galleries, outdoor trails, and an art and nature education centre on 80 acres of natural foothills grasslands, southwest of Calgary in Treaty 7 territory. Spectacular mountain views, contemporary art exhibitions, a charming gift shop featuring works by hundreds of Alberta artists, and educational programming make this a special place to experience the confluence of art and nature.

The Leighton Art Centre gift shop features 100 percent Canadian content and - with over 300 participating artist members - offers a broad variety of unique, high-quality art and crafts. Pick up something for yourself or to gift to someone special. The Centre features plenty of free parking, spectacular Foothills and Rocky Mountain views and a great selection of art, much of which is available for purchase.
