Leighton Artist Studio Residency: Groups 2027-28

The Group Leighton Studio Residency offers creative teams and collaborators one to three weeks of focused, self-directed time in private studios set in the forested surroundings of Banff Centre. This competitive program supports collaborative research, creation, exploration, and project development, with the flexibility to work in solitude. Your group will benefit from management of your time in residence, choosing when to focus, collaborate, explore and create. Description Leighton Studios are purpose-built, private workspaces designed to support a range of creative disciplines. For collaborative residencies, three Leighton Studios can accommodate groups or duos working together. Each studio offers a distinct environment, allowing applicants to indicate a preferred space that best supports their practice: For groups of two to eight people working collaboratively, the Painter House studio will accommodate your creative brainstorming and discussions. This large residence-style studio allows for collaboration and development of ideas in a comfortable environment. For duos, you may also consider the Thom or Gerin-Lajoie studios. This residency is designed for independent group work and does not include production support, technical assistance, or access to specialized facilities. Groups are responsible for bringing all materials, equipment, and supplies required for their project. Deadline October 14, 2026
