Description
Founded in 1933, Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity is a learning organization built upon a legacy of excellence in artistic and creative development. What started as a single course in drama has grown to become the global organization leading in arts, culture, and creativity across dozens of disciplines. From their home in the Canadian Rocky Mountains, Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity aims to inspire everyone who attends the campus – artists, leaders, and thinkers – to unleash their creative potential. Programming supports the commissioning and creation of new work by individual artists and arts collectives, and provides resources for collaboration and applied research. The Centre also partners with national and international arts institutions to bring art created in Banff to stages and concert halls around the world.
