Literary Arts at The Banff Centre

Poets, fiction and non-fiction writers, journalists, and other publishing professionals are involved in residencies, workshops, internships, special projects, and publications that stimulate discussion about writing and publishing, raise awareness of the written and spoken word, and make manifest the belief that art and ideas must, in various ways, be communicated to others.
