Indigenous Arts
COVID-19 UPDATE: We are currently only able to offer limited online programs. Check our current Indigenous arts programs and subscribe for updates. To learn more about the thoughtful and deliberate decisions to reopen spaces on campus and advance artists and leaders, please visit our COVID-19 Update page or reach out to registrars_office@banffcentre.ca.
Informed by Indigenous cultures and worldviews, we offer programs in all disciplines for emerging to established Indigenous artists. Our programs are highly transformative, situate rigour and exploration at their centre, and are inspired by ‘power of place’ here in Treaty 7 territory.
Through outstanding performances, concerts, residencies, presentations, workshops, talks, and exhibitions, Indigenous Arts contributes to strong and vibrant Indigenous arts communities in Canada and around the globe.
Indigenous Arts is generously supported by:
