You won’t find a more beautiful art tour in Alberta

Vicky O'Dell paints during the Leighton Art Centre's Paint the Foothills plein air event on Sept. 9. The centre is one of six venues for the Most Beautiful Art Tour in Alberta this weekend.

It promises to be a beautiful weekend in the Foothills. 

The aptly named Most Beautiful Art Tour in Alberta takes place on Friday, Sept. 22 and Saturday, Sept. 23 when six studios and galleries will open their doors for art-lovers near and far. 

Participating venues include Bluerock Gallery, the Leighton Art Centre, Firebrand Glass Studio, Kristoferson Studio, the Okotoks Art Gallery and the studio of Mady Thiel-Kopstein. 

The Most Beautiful Art Tour in Alberta isn’t just about the art, but also showcasing the beauty of the region, the varied character of the Foothills and its communities. 

The common adage of the journey being as important as the destination fits the tour, said Tarek Nemr, co-owner of Bluerock Gallery, as it takes visitors on a meandering and picturesque route.
