History
The Gordon Snelgrove Gallery is a teaching and research facility as well as a public exhibition and presentation space. It is one of four in the University Art Galleries and Collection constellation and provides an anchor to the creative academic development and production of the university. It is a venue for new work by artists, curators and researchers both within the department of Art and Art History at the University of Saskatchewan and the larger creative ecology of the institution and the other communities we serve and participate within.
Named in honour of Dr. Gordon William Snelgrove – a painter, professor and former Head of the Department of Art and Art History – the Gordon Snelgrove Gallery is both a teaching facility and a public gallery. It provides a venue for new work, public talks, residencies and short-term studio space for artists, curators and collectives within the department, across campus and the broader arts community.
