In connection with A ROCKY MOUNTAIN HIGH, a festival marking the 75th Anniversary of The Banff Centre, Bureau de change celebrates the spirit of inquiry of visual artists who have come to Banff from across the globe to exchange ideas, research, think, experiment, and explore new tools.

Runs Saturday 28 June through Sunday 7 September
