Thematic residencies
In our inspirational thematic residency programs, artists, curators, and other arts professionals come together to focus on a specific theme. Through peer interaction, discussion groups, studio work, formal lectures, and studio visits from world-renowned visiting artists and curators, participants gain new ideas and insights that can be applied to creative exploration and the development of their work.  

November 3–December 12, 2014
Apply by: May 21

Lead faculty: Céline Kopp, with guest artists to be announced.

The Banff Centre is partnering with the French Embassy in Canada and the Institut français to promote the creation of contemporary visual art through an annual residency program. This year's residency will be led by French curator Céline Kopp, the director of Triangle France; France's oldest artist-run space and non-profit contemporary arts organization based in Marseilles. Her recent curatorial projects include the first European solo exhibition of Liz Magor's work, with a soon to be released publication.

Lead artist: Raymond Boisjoly, with guest artists Arnold Joseph Kemp, Joar Nango, and others.

Where we were is no longer where we are, and where we will be is not yet. Raymond Boisjoly will facilitate a residency for artists interested in what it means to question "in kind." This program will offer artists the opportunity to discuss, explore, and understand the questions informing the practices of their fellow participants in proximity to their own concerns.

Raymond Boisjoly is an artist of Haida and Québécois descent. Boisjoly's practice operates as active speculation; engaging issues of aboriginality, language as cultural practice, and the experiential aspects of materiality.

Open Call for Artists (Winter 2025-26) Last Ship Art Residency @Khajuraho

  Artist in residence: The artist studios of Last Ship are situated opposite the UNESCO World Heritage temples of Khajuraho. The Viswanath temple built in 999 AD is right in front, less than 20 meters from Last Ship. Little known prehistoric and ancient historic sites in this region tell parts of a story more than 10,000 years old, of the Mughals, the Chandelas, going back to the Guptas, the Kushans, the Shungas and the Indo-Greeks all the way to prehistoric cave-dwellers, revealing secrets of the birth of the philosophies of Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism and their common Tantric spiritual traditions. The artists of the residency are invited to have their own experience of this heritage, like the sadhus, aghoris, and mystics who make solitary pilgrimages through this region, called the most powerful tantric region in the world, in search of enlightenment. The Last Ship residency program is a one-of-a-kind experience of a history, nature and culture, hidden in the chaos and turmoil...
