Fifth Parallel Gallery

The Fifth Parallel Gallery is a student-run art space located in the Dr. William Riddell Centre at the University of Regina. Our goal is to create a welcoming and inclusive space where students from the University of Regina, First Nations University of Canada, Campion College, and Luther College can exhibit works in a wide variety of mediums. The University of Regina is situated on Treaty 4 lands with a presence in Treaty 6. These are the territories of the nêhiyawak, Anihšināpēk, Dakota, Lakota, and Nakoda, and the homeland of the Métis/Michif Nation. Today, these lands continue to be the shared Territory of many diverse peoples from near and far. The nêhiyawak originally referred to Regina as oskana kā-asastēki which literally means “The place where bones are piled up.” This is why Regina’s nickname is “Pile O’Bones” and this is the origin of the name of our current location in Wascana Park.
