Leighton Art Centre (LAC) is a non-profit public art gallery, museum and education centre near the hamlet of Millarville, Alberta, south of Calgary that was established in 1974. The gallery and museum building were designed as his family's residence by Alfred Crocker Leighton, who was a member of the Royal Society of British Artists (RBA). His widow, Barbara Leighton, first established the gallery to showcase A. C. Leighton's artwork. In 1974, she incorporated the Leighton Foundation to operate the gallery and museum to exhibit his work along with other Albertan artists. The centre was designated as a Provincial Historic Resource on 7 May 2009.
