An art professor in Kansas University’s School of Fine Arts was recently selected to participate in the notable Banff residency program in Alberta, Canada.

So Yeon Park, assistant professor of art in new or expanded media, was notified of her acceptance into the “New Works” residency through The Banff Centre. The Banff residency selected about 10 visual artists from around the world to participate in the seven-week program, taking place in January and February, where the artists will explore vision, perception, consciousness and meaning in media and visual arts.

The Banff Centre is a learning institute created to promote the continued professional development of artists, providing a mixture of lectures, studio visits and seminars with worldwide curators and art critics to expand the artists’ international exhibition opportunities.
