Calgary Art In Nature

Tucked away in the enchanting woodlands above the iconic Calgary Bay, Calgary Art in Nature offers a truly unique and captivating experience for visitors to the Isle of Mull. This extraordinary woodland sculpture walk invites you to wander through a landscape where artistic creations beautifully intertwine with the raw, untamed beauty of nature. Since its inception in 1999, the aim has been to site thought-provoking sculptures within the beech woodland, encouraging a deeper appreciation for both art and the natural environment.

As you meander along the winding paths, you’ll discover a diverse array of sculptures and installations, each thoughtfully placed to complement the ancient trees, moss-covered boulders, and dramatic cliffs. The artworks, created by local, community, and visiting artists, evolve over time, meaning there’s always something new to discover with each visit. From large-scale carvings to subtle hidden gems, the trail encourages you to slow down, observe, and connect with your surroundings in a fresh and inspiring way.

Calgary Art in Nature is more than just a walk; it’s a sensory journey. The sheltered, airy atmosphere of the woods, shaped by the westerly winds, provides a unique backdrop for the art. After exploring the trail, you can also visit the adjacent Calgary Gallery and Gift Shop, showcasing a range of local art and crafts, or enjoy refreshments at the nearby Calgary Bay Co. Cafe. It’s an ideal complement to a visit to Calgary Bay, promising an unforgettable blend of culture and the stunning natural wonders of Mull.
