Supporting the Artists' Fund

When Dale McArthur was twelve years old, his father bought him a six string guitar from Sears. From that day on, Dale has taught himself how to play and has been writing and recording music ever since.

With the generous support received from the Artists’ Fund, Dale was able to join us at Banff Centre for the Winter 2018 Banff Musicians in Residence program. In this video, Dale shares how important it is for a musician to have the time and space to create, free from the distractions of everyday life. 

It means so much to artists when there is somebody outside

who believes in art and passion and is willing to support their career and growth. 

Thank you so much for your support. It means so much to me.
