About The Gallery at Frances Morrison Central Library
The Gallery’s mandate is to display high-calibre artwork that has not previously been displayed locally, created by Saskatchewan’s emerging and established artists, particularly those living in Saskatoon. It is located at the Frances Morrison Central Library (311 23rd St E).
Current Show: Reflecting Light | 10th Street Atelier

The title of our group exhibition, Reflecting Light, has myriad meanings depending on its context. As visual artists, uppermost in our minds is understanding the nature of light, its quality, mood, intensity and direction. Please view the event listing for more information.

The Department of Art & Art History at the University of Saskatchewan will be presenting works from the 2022 Masters of Fine Arts graduating class. Artists conclude their degree with an exhibition that demonstrates the depth of their research and practice over two years and as a celebration of their accomplishments and connections in the community.
In this era of pervasive racial and social injustice, global climate crises, political unrest and a loss of a sense of community informed by a global pandemic, art re-emerges as a necessary point of connection.
