Led by faculty Joi Arcand, Whess Harman, August Klintberg, and Michael Turner, Visual Arts Thematic Residency – Get LIT! Language, Image, Text invites visual artists working in all mediums to explore language, image, words, and text through self-directed studio practice and research-creation.

This five-week residency offers a structured space where visual artists come together to create work and discuss the pertinent theme, as well as time and space to delve deeply into their practice while away from the constrains of everyday life.

This residency is for visual artists at all stages of their careers who have completed formal education and/or training at the post-secondary level, or who have equivalent experience and recognition from their peers. Banff Centre invites applications from
anywhere in the world, and artists of all ages (18+), backgrounds, gender identities, and expressions. Scholarship of 100% is available to cover tuition, and 50% is available to offset meals and accommodation costs.
