Visual arts & new media

Early Career Banff Artist in Residence 2026

Open to artists working in all visual arts mediums, this program is faculty-led while providing space, time, and support towards the development of an agreed-upon studio project. 

As well as having the opportunity to research, experiment, and create, participants are part of a community of emerging artists committed to developing and expanding their practice. They will participate in faculty-led conversations around the contexts that artists establish for the production and presentation of their work.

This exhibition has been supported by: 
Alberta Foundation for the Arts, Calgary Arts Development, The City of Calgary, EMMEDIA, TRUCK Contemporary Art, Calgary Boxing Club, Rogelio Boxing, Carvel Creative

I asked for a Unicorn but Life gave me a Zebra

This show is a departure in every sense of the word from what you may have come to expect from Mary-Leigh.  With it she takes herself and the viewer on a quest. As her paintings took shape she seized the opportunity to realize a lifelong dream and has written a story around them. She has created her first children’s book…  for adults. Annette’s beautiful calligraphy completed the project and now they look forward to the possibility of a second book already in the works.
