Administrative history
The official opening of the Gallery was September 25, 1953. Mandate: The Gallery's policy is to support the arts in the province by exhibiting the work of serious provincial artists, to exhibit the finest works of Canadian art, to create an awareness, interest and support of the arts, and also to establish the Gallery as an integral part of the community life and the University. Administrative relationships: The Gallery was administered through the University of Regina until May 1, 1990. In 1990, the Gallery became independant of the University. Two appointed representatives from the University are present on the Gallery's Board of Trustees. Administrative structure: Educational programs such as the Community Program or Mackenzie Outreach are administrated through the Gallery. Names of the corporate bodies: The Gallery has never changed its name although it's frequently known as the Mackenzie Art Gallery. Names of the chief officers: The first curator of the Mackenzie collection was Augustus Kenderdine, who looked after the collection from 1936 to 1947. The first curator of the Gallery was Richard Simmins, from 1952 to 1957.
