Western artistry

Why locals love it

This set of 8 brightly coloured stylized steel horse cut-outs running through the park brightens up the mood at courthouse park. It's one of many western-themed pieces throughout the city sponsored by a group of private and corporate donors via the Calgary Stampede Art Committee.

Why you should visit it

This public art piece by Canadian sculptor Joe Fafard is an acknowledgement to Calgary’s cowboy culture. The brightly coloured horses represent a symphony of sound and movement, a meataphor for Canada’s diversity.
