While Calgary City Council has recently installed their latest piece of public art, the 'Bowfort Towers', we asked Airdronians how they feel our own city is doing in the art department. 

While some agreed more nature and natural beauty was needed, others would like to see more sculptures or murals around town.

"I think it's always awesome to display stuff, especially if its local stuff that we can be proud of," says one woman. 

"More monumental art, like sculptures, murals, possibly even a fountain or two," says another man.

Regardless of perspective, most agreed that local artists should be the masterminds behind it all.

Hilda also adds that Airdrie needs to be different from Calgary.

"Not like the stuff like the blue circle and the funeral pyres that they have there in Calgary."
