À propos

The Art Gallery of Regina introduces a new twist on its regular and popular online program Still Life Sundays, which offers opportunities to draw, chat and spend time online constructively. We'll still offer Still Life Sundays as a free, online still life drawing and socializing session over Zoom video conference from 2-4 pm; we'll be supplementing this successful program with in-person drawing opportunities. In-person attendance is limited to six people in the Neil Balkwill Civic Arts Centre's board room; use of masks is mandatory

Especially for Culture Days edition of our Still Life Sundays we are offering beginner and experienced artists the unique challenge of drawing honey-bee altered still life compositions created by Prince Albert-based artist and instructor George Glenn. Glenn, who was Aganetha Dyck's first art teacher, offered honeybees several groupings of objects, which the bees have been busy re-shaping with whimsical frills of honeycomb over the last two summers. Glenn himself will lead participants through observing and drawing these unique still life compositions through live, online drawing session. This Still Life Sunday drawing activity will also introduce natural drawing media and wax resist methods as ways to reflect upon how pollution and consumption impact pollinators.

Newsprint, natural pigments and drawing boards will be provided for in-person drawing sessions. Those wishing to attend this in-person event must register in advance for a free ticket, wear a mask and observe social distancing. Attendance at in-person events is limited to 50%of normal capacity. The Neil Balkwill Civic Arts Centre requires that all visitors to the building wear a mask and provide proof of vaccination, or a negative COVID-19 test. Attendance is limited to 6 people.

Art Gallery of Regina

Located on Treaty 4, the traditional territory of the Cree, Saulteaux, Nakota, Lakota and Dakota peoples, and the homeland of the Métis people, the Art Gallery of Regina (AGR) promotes the development and appreciation of contemporary art, with an emphasis on Saskatchewan artists. Our programming focuses on the voices and experiences of Saskatchewan artists and visitors. AGR programming encompasses exhibitions (featuring established, emerging and recreational artists), education, publishing, workshops and artists talks. Through free public exhibitions and dedicated support for artists and innovation, the AGR has over 45 years as a supportive and creative cultural hub connecting artists and our communities.

​

​The Art Gallery of Regina is an autonomous, independent public art gallery with non-profit and charitable status. We are a tenant in the Neil Balkwill Civic Arts Centre located within the vibrant Cathedral Village neighbourhood in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada.

​

​The Gallery opened as an experimental satellite of the Norman Mackenzie Gallery in 1974 under the name Rosemont Art Gallery. The Rosemont's objective was to reach new audiences and respond to community demands for more local and regional programming. In 1976 an independent organization formed and incorporated as a non-profit society to take over the Gallery.

In 2005, after 30 years in operation, the name was changed to the Art Gallery of Regina to better reflect its scope and role in the community.

​

The Art Gallery of Regina is at 2420 Elphinstone Street, inside the Neil Balkwill Civic Art Centre . The facility is entirely wheelchair accessible.
