Visual Arts Open Lecture Series: Mackenzie Kelly-Frère

Visual Arts Open Lecture Series: Mackenzie Kelly-Frère, located in Banff in the Canadian Rockies, offers an inspiring artist talk for creative travellers. This afternoon lecture features contemporary artist MacKenzie Kelly-Frère, known for sculptural and installation works grounded in place-based approaches to weaving. Guests hear how plant and material fibres are used to explore the ecology of the prairies and foothills, and how cloth can connect cultures, histories, and technologies. Hosted in the Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Building at 107 Tunnel Mountain Dr, the talk is part of the Summer Banff Artist in Residence (BAiR) program, which supports visual artists working across mediums. Visitors gain insight into an international community of artists committed to research, experimentation, and expanding their practice.
