As Canada’s leading post-graduate arts institution, Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity offers intensive training and career development programs for emerging and established artists across all artistic disciplines. Banff Centre also provides training for leaders in cultural, Indigenous, corporate, and environmental sectors. From our home in the Canadian Rockies, Banff Centre provides a holistic learning environment where artists and leaders, stewarded by world class faculty, can realize in days what would normally take months. We are Canada’s home for arts training and creation.
Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity is located in Banff National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The spectacular beauty of the Canadian Rockies surrounds our campus spread over 42 acres of land on the west side of Tunnel Mountain and just a few blocks from downtown Banff.

Banff Centre's newest meeting facility, the LEED Certified Kinnear Centre for Creativity and Innovation (building on the right-hand side), includes 17 fully-equipped meeting rooms of varying sizes and flexibility which can host groups of eight to 400 participants. Kinnear is also home to Maclab Bistro and the Paul D. Fleck Library & Archives and has mountain views from all rooms.
