Program Description

Working with renowned faculty and knowledgeable staff, the Summer Banff Artist in Residence (BAiR) 2024 program offers visual artists the time, space, and resources to engage in intensive, self-directed research and studio practice, build community, and learn new skills 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.
