The ultimate goal of our program is to increase our participants' expertise in media production and enable them to export that knowledge back to their professional communities. Projects produced with CEE are generated with the participation of various departments within the Banff Centre for the Arts, including Aboriginal Arts, Music and Sound and Media and Visual Arts. Our associates collaborate with artists in these other programs and cooperative creative ventures are encouraged. CEE also produces works for commercial clients whose projects fall within the mandate of The Banff Centre's mission. This provides our participants with exposure to new ideas and the opportunity to work with a diverse group including visiting artists, researchers and faculty.
Associates serve as assistants to more experienced staff and visiting faculty or experts.
Working within this team environment, participants are guided and evaluated by experienced mentors. Seminars are held at which their projects are critiqued by CEE staff. There is no refund or cash payment for absences, late arrivals or early departures . All fees are in Canadian dollars. A seven per cent Goods and Services Tax will be applied where required.
