Banff Centre’s Visual Arts programs bring together emerging and established artists from around the world for residencies that foster experimentation, dialogue, and new ways of seeing. This summer, explore free exhibitions, open studios, and faculty talks that foreground process, practice, and creative exchange. Discover how artists explore new ideas and forms within Banff Centre’s dynamic creative environment.
The exhibition, Elliptical Lineages at Walter Phillips Gallery presents the work of artists that engage the creative practices of a family member or those whom they consider kin.
Taking up questions of the relationship between art and craft, or reflective of creative forms of living and making within the context of daily life, the exhibition also intends to complicate conventional ideas of artistic lineage and embrace the complexity of exchange and transmission of knowledge across generations.
Early Career Banff Artist in Residence (BAIR) provides mentorship, critical feedback, and studio time to visual artists and curators in the early stages of their careers. Hear from established artists and roam the studios of this year's participants, see their works, and discover the ideas and inspirations that shaped their creative journey.
