The Banff Artist in Residence program is designed for visual artists to focus on their practice in a supportive learning environment. Over five weeks, participants are encouraged to self-direct their research and time, as well as cultivate new directions in their work. The experience of artists in residence is further supported through individual studio visits with guest faculty and dialogue amongst peers.

The program encourages experimentation and risk-taking via access to shared production facilities and knowledgeable staff who are available to provide technical support and assistance.

This residency is for visual artists with an exhibition/ publication record, who have completed formal training in visual arts at the post-secondary level, or equivalent experience and recognition from their peers.

Financial Aid of 100% is available to cover tuition, and 50% is available to offset meals and accommodation costs.
