The Banff Centre’s visual arts residencies provide the luxury of time and space to create new works, research innovative ideas, and experiment with different techniques and modes of production. Located in Banff National Park and surrounded by the awe-inspiring mountain vistas of the majestic Canadian Rockies, The Banff Centre’s facilities accommodate the printmaker, painter, ceramist, photographer, and sculptor.
Our Visual Arts Thematic Residencies offer a program where artists are brought together under the umbrella of a common theme that runs through their work. Through peer interaction, discussion groups, studio work, and formal lectures and studio visits from world renowned visiting artists and curators, the thematic resident gains new ideas and insights that can be applied to the continued creation of contemporary art.
