All aboard!
The trains at this former Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) Station may be gone, but the venue continues to serve as a popular meeting place for Okotoks. In 1981, the town purchased the CPR building and, in collaboration with the Okotoks Arts Council, transformed it into The Station Cultural Centre. Now you can catch art fever at this lovely gallery.

This arts centre not only has a public gallery space, but it also features a studio, foyer and large gallery. The large gallery can host 100 people and can be combined with the gallery/foyer to create an even more spacious area. For smaller events or displays, the craft studio can accommodate up to 20 people. It’s connected to a beautiful park, which is available for outdoor functions. If you’re an artist and want to submit your work for a group or solo show, contact them to get the application started.
