Few people capture the spirit of Canada quite like Cree artist Jason Carter. Widely recognized as one of the country’s most exciting and prolific creative forces, Carter celebrates the grandeur of the Canadian landscape, and its wildlife, through bold canvas work and powerful stone sculpture. His vibrant, unmistakable style brings the Rockies to life through an Indigenous lens, blending tradition, storytelling, and contemporary vision.

Carter’s work has reached audiences far beyond gallery walls. He has been featured on the hit HGTV series Property Brothers, introducing his distinctive artistry to homes across North America. Visitors to Banff may also recognize his hand in the beloved “In Search of Christmas Spirit” installation, for which he created all of the sculptures, an enchanting winter experience that has become part of the region’s cultural fabric.

Travellers from around the globe encounter his monumental works in major public spaces, including extensive permanent installations at Calgary International Airport and Edmonton International Airport. His towering 30-foot sculptures have commanded attention at the iconic Calgary Stampede, while striking pieces of his appear in Canada Goose flagship stores worldwide.
Corporate collections, including Microsoft, Denton’s, and CIBC, further cement his reputation on an international stage.

Rooted in the Bow Valley since 2011, Carter has welcomed visitors from around the world to his own gallery in the heart of Banff. Located at 229 Bear Street, the space immerses guests in brilliant, bold colours that echo the majesty of the Canadian Rockies.

Don’t miss stopping into Banff, or Canmore, to experience the world of Jason Carter, where land and spirit are inseparable, and Canada’s story is etched in stone and painted in unforgettable colour.
