About
Banff Centre runs a hybrid three-week residency for Indigenous artists who work at the intersection of basketry and eco-dyeing.

Applications go through SlideRoom with supporting materials and a financial aid section. The Banff Centre Indigenous Arts Scholarship covers tuition, a single bedroom on campus and meals, and the residency ends with a public showing of works in progress on September 22.
Eligibility
Open to Indigenous artists aged 18 or older, including individual fashion makers, designers and design companies, from Canada or abroad. Applicants should have an arts or culture background, basic knowledge of basket making and eco-dyeing, and experience with natural materials.
