The Esker Foundation is worth visiting. Free in these days to go and enjoy the art. Some clips captured from nature give cool feelings and peace of mind. It is on the fourth floor, space available for parking. Thanks, Esker Foundation, for such a display!

To put it simply, Esker is a MUST go to gallery in Calgary. Their exhibitions are always so beautiful aesthetically and the content is so rich. Although usually featuring more than one artist, it's all so cohesive and it makes sense.
