New Indigenous Visual Art Program
Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity - Alberta
Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity - Alberta
Overview
Description
Banff Centre is excited to announce a new, innovative, and fully funded Indigenous Art Program for 2025 for Visual Artists.
The five-week hybrid residency will engage 12 indigenous visual artists whose artistic practice includes land-based themes, environmental sustainability, Indigenous narratives of the land, and/or use of natural materials.
Artists can apply with a personal project to explore, experiment and research, or complete their final project work. The online portion equips artists to arrive on campus ready to create in a supportive environment with access to a studio and Visual Arts facilities. The residency features workshops, on-the-land engagement, faculty guidance, knowledge exchange centered on integrating Indigenous ways of knowing into the artistic process and the opportunity to showcase works at Open Studios.
This hybrid residency is a balance of self-directed studio time, workshops, presentations, and access to Visual Arts Studios. This residency is supported by a faculty team, who will offer insight into their creative processes, and visual arts facilitators. Successful applicants will benefit from:
Self-directed time to work on a personal project.
24/7 access to their own studio in Glyde Hall.
Group workshops and presentations from faculty and artists, along with one-on-one sessions, and on-the-land engagement opportunities.
Visual Arts facilities which include production in analogue and digital photography, sculpture, printmaking, paper-making, ceramics, fibre, painting, drawing, digital media, video, and sound.
Visual Arts team to support and facilitate their projects and provide technical assistance.
Opportunities to showcase works-in-progress at the Open Studios at the end of the program.
*Materials: Participants are expected to bring the necessary materials and embellishments for their personal design projects during the on-campus portion of the residency. All other workshop-related materials will be provided by the program.
*100% Scholarship covers tuition, meals, and accommodation costs
