The University of Saskatchewan Art Galleries make public historical and contemporary art and creative practices that confront the urgent and critical matters of our time, whether they be social, political, aesthetic, intellectual, environmental, or cultural in nature. We need be local and planetary in our scope and outlook, guided by relationality. While the galleries are tasked to animate the creative environment of the University in an interdisciplinary spirit of provocation and inquiry, they are also necessarily permeable spaces that foster reciprocal exchange with community- in civic and territorial reach, nationally, and beyond. The galleries collectively, (The Kenderdine, College Galleries 1 and 2, and the Gordon Snelgrove) along with our collection, serve as an autonomous cultural research institution within the University, dedicated to intellectual exploration and freedom of expression, fostering open debate and dialogue. We are fully committed to the principles and Calls to Action of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission and participate in co-creating the future that these calls seek. Access for all is fundamental to a public art gallery and critical to the inquiry we undertake. We recognize the importance of the past as it shapes the present and future and affirm our obligation to interpret and interrogate our collective memory.
