Banff

In the spring of 2022, we began our search for a talented artist to design this year's artwork for the Banff Mountain Festival. We had hundreds of incredible submissions from talented artists across the globe. It was a huge challenge to pick an artist whose work would be featured. It was Jack Spowart, and his intricate illustrations, combining pen, ink and a subtle use of colour that really stood out.

Adventure film season is upon us and the Banff Centre Mountain Film and Book Festival has gone digital this year. With so many inspiring stories being told, we’re delighted to share the trailers of Rab supported athletes whose adventure films have been accepted into the festival. 

As title sponsor of the Banff Film Festival, Rab has worked closely with John Fellows for the past three years to create bespoke designs for the official festival t-shirts. We wanted to find an artist who would capture the same feeling and connection to the outdoors we all share while experiencing the stories that are told during the festival.
