Made For This Place: The Leighton Legacy

Leighton Art Centre 2021

Made for This Place explores the lives and art of prominent Alberta artists A. C. Leighton and Barbara Leighton. Together, they travelled the world, pursuing artistic inspiration and places to call home. Eventually, they purchased land south of Calgary, where they built a home and founded the Leighton Art Centre.

This project offers a unique insight into the rich artistic history of Southern Alberta through the Centre’s stories of adventure, creation and community-building.
