About the residency
Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity, located in Banff, Alberta, Canada, was founded in 1933 as an arts and leadership institution. Its founding ethos centers on providing artists with time, space, and mentorship to develop their practice in a supportive, interdisciplinary environment. The Centre's mission is to inspire and empower artists and leaders to create, produce, and share their work with the world. Over the decades, it has evolved into a global hub for artistic development, offering residencies, workshops, and programs across visual arts, performing arts, literary arts, Indigenous arts, and media production.

Artists should carefully review program-specific guidelines on the Banff Centre website, as each residency or call has distinct requirements and deadlines. Applications typically require a project proposal, artist statement, CV, and work samples. It is advisable to articulate how the residency would benefit your practice and how you might engage with the Centre's interdisciplinary community. Given the competitive nature, ensure your materials are polished and submitted well before the deadline. Financial aid is available for many programs, so inquire about funding options early.
