If you don’t feel like driving south of the city to the Bluerock Gallery, you can find many of the same artists in the city at the Alberta Craft Council at cSPACE in Marda Loop. It’s the centre for arts and crafts in the city with so many unique mugs you would never find in a department store.

Okotoks is a 20-minute drive outside of city limits and has a surprisingly vibrant art scene. Lineham House Galleries is an old historic house that has been converted into a cute little gallery with a small pottery section tucked into a section in the back of the building. Take a walk down the nearby main street if you don’t find what you’re looking for and check out the other quirky shops that are open like Tribal Connection and Market for a fair trade find!
Address: 33 Elma Street W, Okotoks
