BAiR Open Studios & Elliptical Lineages Exhibition Tour

Visit the studios of this year’s Early Career Banff Artist in Residence (BAiR) participants and see how they pushed creative boundaries during their five weeks at Banff Centre.

BAiR is a transformative five-week residency that provides mentorship, critical feedback, and studio time to visual artists and curators in the early stages of their careers.

Open to visual artists working across mediums, BAiR combines the artistic freedom of a self-directed residency with the supportive benefits of an organized program. As well as having the space to create, research, and experiment, participants are part of a community of emerging artists committed to developing and expanding their practice.

This is an exciting opportunity for the artists to share their work, and for the public to ask them about their processes. Artists, art appreciators, and curious first-time viewers alike are encouraged to attend.

Visitors are also welcome to join a guided tour of the current exhibition at Walter Phillips Gallery, Elliptical Lineages. The tour begins at 5:00 p.m. in the Walter Phillips Gallery lobby.

Visual Arts is supported by the Gail and Stephen A. Jarislowsky Outstanding Artist Program.
