Call for Artists – Art Residency in Banff Centre, Canada
Now that Vancouver has been so in the news lately for the Olympics, I thought to share with you another art opportunity that is open to us all. This Call for Interests is at one of Canada’s most beautiful places, Banff. In winter it is like Vail, the ultimate sky resort. In summer, it transforms into an artistic haven. You’ll see when you get there. Some well-known artists have in fact studied there.
Here are the details for this exciting Art Residency.

The Banff Centre Visual Arts at The Banff Centre: Call for ApplicationsThematic Residency – Figure in a Mountain Landscape (Reprise) |
London-based painter Silke Otto-Knapp will lead participants into the landscape around Banff National Park. On arrival at various scenic locations the group will ready themselves, like generations of artists before them and begin to make art. What they see will be shaped by the sun’s position and the weather. Each artist will be reminded of the time contract as the light changes and fades to darkness.
