The Banff Centre

The Banff Centre offers a number of new media programs and services in addition to its wide array of other arts related courses.

Television production has been available through the centre since the 1970s. In the 1990s, the program was offered as a part of the media and visual arts faculty. In response to a growing demand, new labs were built equipped with 3D visualization tools. The program expanded to include other new media arts and was launched as its own department in 2000.

'Creative Electronic Environment' acts as a technological resource centre for all areas of the school, offering state of the art television and video production studios and interactive media technical support. Professionals will assist in the development of digital art, audio and video streaming as well as website construction.

The Banff New Media Institute provides research opportunities, commissions, summits and workshops as it relates to technology in the arts. The professional workshops offered through the institute deal with all aspects of new media including art, research, technology, financing, publishing and distribution. Research summits act as a forum for people of different disciplines to gather and discuss technological and new media issues.
