Cool Stuff
USask Art Galleries & Collections
Our campus art galleries – College Art Gallery 1 & College Art Gallery 2, Kenderdine Art Gallery and Gordon Snelgrove Gallery—and the permanent art collection are among our university’s richest cultural and educational resources. The visual arts hub provides a path to deeper engagement with Indigenous peoples and perspectives, greater opportunities for our students and closer ties to our community. Creative and vital gallery spaces and art work inspire the university’s mission of culture, teaching and discovery.
The University of Saskatchewan (USask) Art Collection consists of more than 6,000 works of art acquired since the university opened its doors in 1907. Its first president, Walter Murray, was an active promoter of the visual arts within the university’s teaching and research mandates and greatly valued the work of Saskatchewan artists. Today, the artistic work of many cultures and art movements throughout recent history are represented in the collection. Nearly 90% of its holdings are works by Canadian artists; of that more than 70% are by Saskatchewan artists. International artists represent approximately 10% of works in the collection. Of note are important early Canadian works and modernist works from North America and Europe. There is a large prairie folk art collection, as well as a growing collection of Indigenous art works.
