The Leighton Artist Studios are a cornerstone program of the Banff Centre, providing independent residencies for artists working on self-directed research-creation projects. This program is home to ten distinct studios located in a secluded and forested area of the Banff Centre campus. What sets these studios apart from other Banff Centre residencies is the unique retreat environment that affords artists time and space for focus and introspection.

The best residency programme there is — I've never worked so well as I have at the Banff Centre.
