The Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity Visual Arts Thematic 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 constraints of everyday life. Through peer interaction, studio work, formal lectures, and studio visits from world-renowned visiting faculty, participants gain new ideas and insights that can be applied to creative exploration and professional development of their work.
Participants are provided with a studio, accessible 24 hours a day, as well as targeted access to the facilities. Facility access is based on availability of facilitators, and priority access is given to those requesting their use in their initial application.
In addition, artists can build connections, create networks, and share their work with other artists-in-residence and the public.
