Banff Centre is excited to announce a new, innovative, and fully funded Indigenous Arts Music Program for 2025!

Toga da wôhnagabi: Music Creation Residency 2026
“Toga da wôhnagabi” (Stories for the future) is a four-week hybrid Indigenous music residency that brings worldviews together from all four corners of Mother Earth. Watched over by Buffalo Spirit, the residency provides musicians and songwriters a transformative space to actively listen and learn from each other in story and song.

Through workshops, studio recording and live performance, the residency gives participants space to create and share their stories using language and land teachings in their music creations and performance. Artists will listen to the land speak and use those sounds along with their own Indigenous language sounds to both express and celebrate life and their unique worldviews in a life-affirming and creative gathering space.

Solo artists or duos are welcome to apply.

Program Dates Feb 02, 2026 - Feb 28, 2026
Application Deadline August 20, 2025

*100% Scholarship covers tuition, meals, and accommodation costs.
