From the initial spark of an idea to a full-scale production, The Banff Centre is the perfect place for interdisciplinary artists to create. The Centre is pleased to announce new offerings for composers, choreographers, visual artists, writers, performance artists, photographers, filmmakers, dancers, playwrights, musicians, directors, and those involved in other new and emerging art practices to collaborate in the creation of new works.
Apply by: June 2
This latest residency is designed to support artists, collectives, and companies in the creation, investigation, and production of new work that crosses disciplines and genres. Utilizing the various artistic facilities on campus, artists will be able to explore projects that blur boundaries.
Artists at various stages of artistic practice are encouraged to apply, whether they are at the conceptual stage, ready for development and production, or preparing for presentation. Adjudication is based on artistic merit and the ability of The Banff Centre to help realize the project. Projects will be adjudicated for fall 2014 and winter 2015 residency dates.
November 27–30
