ABOUT THE BANFF CENTRE

Since 1933 the Banff Centre has been a learning organization for artistic and creative development. This global organization leads in arts, culture, and creativity across multiple disciplines, offering learning programs, conferences, events, theatre, comedy, art gallery, fitness center, dining, library, and archives. The town of Banff is situated in the Canadian Rocky Mountains approximately 130km/80 miles from Calgary (banffcentre.ca).

NATCC represents an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences among conservators and students from the Americas and the world, by using the same language: textile conservation.
