The Gallery is alive—with curiosity, care, and creativity.

It’s a place where the human spirit is uplifted through meaningful encounters with art and with each other.

There’s always something special happening at the MacKenzie—exhibitions that spark reflection, programs that invite curiosity, events honouring community and tradition, conversations with artists, and film screenings.

The Gallery is a welcoming space where people can gather, connect, and feel a sense of belonging.

The Mackenzie Art Gallery reached over 660,000 people in 2024-25—through in-person visits, online experiences and community programming.

We created over 340 community programs that welcomed thousands of children, youth, and adults into meaningful, creative spaces.

More than 120 of these programs supported the principles of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, deepening our commitment to truth and reconciliation

Our work goes far beyond exhibitions. We built lasting partnerships rooted in reciprocity, creating opportunities to explore, make art, share stories, and learn from one another.

School tours inspired almost
3,300 curious youth.

Online exhibitions and programs reached
500,000 people around the world.

Touring exhibitions connected over
78,000 people across three provinces.

COMMUNITY MEMBERSHIP PROGRAM

Programs at the MacKenzie help remove barriers and create welcoming, inclusive spaces for all.

Through our Community Membership Program, over 400 participants take part in guided tours, hands-on workshops, and meaningful conversations each year—all tailored in partnership with local organizations.

We welcome newcomers seeking connection, empower youth to explore their identities, and provide creative outlets for individuals facing financial hardship or social isolation. These experiences not only inspire personal growth, but ripple outward—strengthening families, communities, and futures.

RECREATION, ART & LIFE SKILLS for Newcomers

In partnership with the Regina Immigrant Women Centre, this program supports immigrant and refugee women and their children through art. While children take part in arts-based programming, mothers are given space to explore their creativity, build confidence, and care for their mental well-being.

Participants come from language classes and life skills programs, many navigating new beginnings and housing transitions. With support from a dedicated social worker, we create a safe, empowering space for healing, learning, and connection.

REGINA ARTS YOUTH NETWORK for Youth

RAYN empowers youth ages 14 to 20 to explore their creativity, build confidence, and grow as leaders through art. In partnership with the Dunlop Art Gallery, participants work alongside professional artists and staff, gaining hands-on experience in all aspects of gallery operations—from marketing and development to exhibition planning and studio practices.

The program fosters peer mentorship and open-ended learning, helping youth see themselves as creative changemakers. Their voices are shaping the future of arts and culture in our community.

WEEKLY WE MAKE for Individuals and Families

Weekly We Make offers free, drop-in art workshops every Sunday afternoon, welcoming participants of all ages. Inspired by current exhibitions, these hands-on sessions invite individuals, friends, and families to connect, create, and engage with art in an open, inclusive environment.

At the MacKenzie Art Gallery, we’re fortunate to witness the many ways generosity shows up—across generations, across distances, and in the ways people choose to give. No matter what stage of life we’re in, we can play a role in shaping the cultural landscape.

Whether a transformative investment or a monthly act of care, every donation is a powerful statement of belief in something bigger than oneself.
