The Gordon Snelgrove Gallery is a crucial venue for new work by artists and curators both within the Department of Art and Art History and the wider community. Frequent public presentations by visiting artists, panels and screenings position it as an important hub in the arts ecology of Saskatoon. Additionally, the gallery curates The Department of Art and Art History Collection, consisting of select works from graduating students. Art from the collection is displayed throughout the Murray Building, the university library, a number of sites on campus and the gallery website. The gallery is located at 191 Murray Building on the University of Saskatchewan campus. It is typically open Monday to Friday, 9:30am to 4:30pm and closed weekends and holidays, but right now is closed to the public in deference to public health in response to the COVID 19 Pandemic.

Artist talks: Tuesday, October 20th from 12:20-1:30pm.

Now on view: Whose Reality is It?” an MFA Thesis Exhibition by Shona Dietz. August 20th - 29th at Gordon Snelgrove Gallery. Gallery hours: Monday - Saturday, 10am - 4pm.

Please join us for a public reception and performance Friday, August 28th from 7 - 9pm. Performance at 8pm.

This exhibition seeks to imagine a world that provokes the emotions felt by those who live within alternate realities, including their loved ones and caregivers. It creates surprising moments of joy mixed with the unexpected fear and confusion that may interrupt their daily lives. It also examines how attitudes and behaviors can be altered by our associations to everyday objects and the stories they harbor within our psyche. Because the work is rooted in materiality, the cultural associations and history of the materials become a part of the content.

“Every May, Just Like the Last”, a multi-channeled video exhibition and novella by Russian animator, filmmaker, and visual artist Sonia Neputeva is now on view at Gordon Snelgrove Gallery.

Thursday, August 6th - Saturday, August 15th, 2026. Gallery hours are Monday- Saturday, 10am-4pm.

Instead of presenting static objects behind glass, as is common in museological taxonomies, the exhibition at the Snelgrove Gallery invites visitors into the spaces where the film’s story unfolds through nine slow-moving channels of video projection. The scenes transport us into the atmosphere of an ordinary Russian city in late spring through digitally created 3D environments. Visitors are encouraged to move through the gallery at their own pace, exploring these spaces as if searching for someone who is no longer there. They can also stay longer to read excerpts from a novella that takes them deeper into the story of Sonia and Polina, or take a copy home.
