Plaque inscription:
Diamond Buffalo
A magnificent animal that once roamed freely. When indigenous people were the only inhabitants of our country lived in harmony with the earth, since Europeans arrived the landscape has been impacted by human presence.
The organic to cubic style of this sculpture is a reflection of that evolution.

Okotoks Art Gallery
Okotoks is a progressive town with a vibrant arts community. The Okotoks Art Gallery (OAG) reflects this wealth of creativity and dynamic energy. Located in the historic 1929 CPR Railway Station, the Gallery includes two gallery spaces for exhibitions , a gift shop featuring local and Canadian artisan wares, and also serves as the Visitor Information Centre for Okotoks.
Founded in 1981, the Okotoks Art Gallery is devoted to the exhibition of art and visual culture. In 2009 the facility was rebranded as the Okotoks Art Gallery and was renovated to meet Class A Gallery requirements and since this time it has been managed by the Town of Okotoks. The Gallery continues to benefit from the valuable support and creative energy of the Okotoks Arts Council.
Serving both the Town of Okotoks and the Foothills region, the Gallery presents an ongoing series of contemporary and historical art exhibitions. The Okotoks Art Gallery also runs programs and events for adults, families and seniors which promote exploration and connection to art in exciting ways.
