The Banff Centre: 75 Years of Inspiring Creativity

The Banff Centre is a globally respected arts, cultural, and educational institution and conference facility. Banff Centre alumni create, produce, and perform works of art all over the world, lead our institutions, organizations, and businesses, and play significant roles in our cultural, intellectual, and economic well-being, and in the preservation of our environment.

Since 1933, the impact of our inspiring mountain location, creative atmosphere, and diverse group of participants from many backgrounds and disciplines have combined to make a powerful experience that is intellectually, physically, and emotionally stimulating.

Public performances, such as the new Banff Winter Arts Festival, are a fundamental part of The Banff Centre experience, and a celebration of the accomplishments of the talented artists who come to Banff. Join us for exhibitions, films, performances, and more, in celebration of our 75th anniversary.
