Okotoks festival turns overlooked downtown spots into art installations
A new community art event is putting unused alleys, corners and nooks in downtown Okotoks in the spotlight.
The Nooks and Crannies Festival is bringing artists together in downtown Okotoks to create installations in areas of the town that are often overlooked, according to a report from OkotoksToday.
Organizers say the artworks are being built from repurposed materials, with the goal of drawing attention to forgotten corners of the downtown and giving them new life through creative display.
The festival is intended to animate these underused public spaces, encouraging residents and visitors to look more closely at parts of downtown Okotoks they might normally pass by.
