About Literary Arts at The Banff Centre
This department is devoted to all aspects of literary arts, and to developing a forum for the exchange of ideas in contemporary art and literature. Rigorous, innovative, and critical approaches in writing and publishing are developed through programs that support professionals at various stages in their careers.
Through its own publications produced throughout the year, The Banff Centre supports contemporary art, literature, and criticism and explores the development of electronic platforms and new technologies in writing and publishing.
“The best place in Canada to move your work forward, find support and community, and reach your artistic goals. Banff is a writer’s dream.”
