Winter Group Exhibition January 16th – February 9th, 2026

As deep winter settles into the Rockies, Altitude brings together Canadian artists in a group exhibition that reflects on the intensity, stillness, and mystery of life at elevation.

From snow-laden peaks and shifting skies to glacial waters and windswept treelines, Altitude invites viewers into landscapes shaped by extremes—of climate, geography, and sensation. Here, the high alpine becomes a site for reflection, where solitude fosters clarity and wildness becomes a mirror for the inner self.

The works in this exhibition span a range of media and approaches: luminous winter scenes, abstract impressions of snow and stone, intimate studies of animals and figures in cold environments. Some artists speak to the resilience of mountain life, while others focus on the quiet, meditative qualities of frozen spaces and muted palettes.

Together, these pieces offer a fresh and layered experience of the mountain world—one that’s not only about grandeur, but also about intimacy, vulnerability, and awe. In the heart of Banff, Altitude honours the winter season and the elevated perspectives it inspires.
