Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity - Vice President, Development and External Relations

Organization

Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity (Banff Centre) exists to inspire artists and leaders to make their unique contribution to society and aspires to be the global leader in arts, culture, and creativity. Founded in 1933, its history is the story of some of the most iconic and outstanding artists from Canada and around the world who have helped forge the Canadian cultural identity.

 

In January 2009, Canada’s Minister of Advanced Education and Technology approved a mandate for Banff Centre as a specialized Arts and Culture Institution providing non-parchment programs in the arts and creativity as well as in leadership development, mountain culture, and the environment. As Canada’s leading post graduate arts institution, Banff Centre offers intensive training and career development programs for emerging and established artists across all artistic disciplines, including opera, music, dance, film and media, mountain culture, and visual and Indigenous arts. It also has an extensive leadership offering in the cultural, Indigenous, corporate, and environmental sectors. Prior to the global pandemic, Banff Centre welcomed more than 3,500 artists and leaders in over 120 learning programs and more than 26,000 attendees to over 360 conferences annually. Each year there are more than 150 premieres, over 50 commissioned artistic works, and 400 performances and events for more than 80,000 audience members.

 

Under the leadership of President and CEO Janice Price, Creative Pathways, Banff Centre’s Strategic Plan: April 2021 supports the Albertan, Canadian, and global creative landscape through five pathways:

 

  • Create: Inspiring and Advancing Creative Leaders

 

  • Connect: In Relationship to Each Other and Our World

 

  • Grow: Revenue Growth and Diversification, Leveraging Banff Centre’s Unique Place and Convening Ability

 

  • Partner: Strategic Partnerships to Ensure Relevant, Impactful Development and Delivery of Banff Centre Programs

 

  • Engage: Commitment to Continued Communication and Engagement with Banff Centre’s Key Communities

 

These efforts are integrated into the collaborative atmosphere among the five Vice Presidents responsible for Arts, Leadership, and Marketing; Development and External Relations; Operations; Talent and Culture; and Business Affairs and General Counsel. The Development and External Relations division currently consists of 12 employees focused on major gifts, annual fund, foundations, corporate sponsorship, special events, research, database administration, and alumni.

 

Banff Centre is governed by a national Board of Governors, composed of the Banff Centre President and CEO, six members appointed by the Alberta Lieutenant Governor in Council, and nine members appointed by the remaining members of the board, one of whom must be nominated by the federal minister responsible for the National Parks Act. Adam Waterous serves as Board Chair. Tim Kitchen serves as The Banff Centre Foundation Board Chair, consisting of a board of directors (Board of the Foundation) that manages the investment of Banff Centre’s endowed funds and is evolving to become more active in soliciting philanthropic support for annual operations. At the end of the 2020-2021 fiscal year, the endowment fund stood at more than $40 million. The annual operating budget for Banff Centre is approximately $42.6 million, with annual contributed revenue, grants, and investment earnings of more than $29 million.

 

Community

Banff Centre is located in Banff National Park, a United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage site. The spectacular beauty of the Canadian Rockies surrounds the campus, which is spread over 42 acres and includes a variety of theatres, recital halls, practice rooms, production facilities, visual art spaces, conference facilities, residences halls, and staff housing, just a few blocks from downtown Banff, Alberta.

 

 

 

The Town of Banff (Banff) is a unique mountain community located in Canada’s first national park. Incorporated as a municipality in 1990, Banff has a population of approximately 10,000 residents. Tourism is Banff’s economic driver, with more than four million people visiting Banff National Park every year. The town thrives with a diverse mix of residents and visitors from all around the world. Banffites embrace the mountain lifestyle of hiking and biking in the summer and skiing and snowboarding in the winter, while acknowledging an obligation as stewards of the national park and the value of living in a safe and caring town.

 

In addition to the national park’s extraordinary beauty and Banff Centre’s many varied programs, Banff residents can enjoy the Banff Public Library, Whyte Museum of the Canadian Rockies, and a variety of sports clubs and leagues. Families with children will find multiple public and private K-12 educational opportunities in Banff and the nearby community of Canmore. With a population of approximately 1.2 million residents, Calgary is just a 90-minute drive from Banff and offers all the amenities of a major metropolitan area, including an international airport.
