Our mission is Inspiring Creativity.

In our powerful mountain setting, exceptional artists and leaders from around the world create and perform new works of art, share skills and knowledge in an interdisciplinary environment, explore ideas, and develop solutions in the arts, leadership, and the environment.

Arts: For over 70 years, The Banff Centre has provided professional career development and lifelong learning for artists and cultural leaders in performing, literary, new media, and visual arts. Work is showcased throughout the year in public concerts, exhibitions, and events, culminating in the Banff Summer Arts Festival.

Leadership Development: offers customized and public programs in the corporate, government, Aboriginal, arts, and not-for-profit sectors that enable and support fundamental transformation in individuals, organizations, and communities. Program participants are mid- to senior-level leaders and decision-makers in their fields.

Mountain Culture: programming at The Banff Centre promotes understanding and appreciation of the world's mountain places by creating opportunities for people to share and find inspiration in mountain experiences, ideas, and visions.

Conferences: at The Banff Centre provides unparalleled meeting and accommodation facilities for organizations from all over the world, featuring over 400 guest rooms, and 60 exceptional meetings spaces, lecture theatres, and auditoriums to accommodate groups from five to 1,000 people.
