Awesome place to get creative inspiration!

Joshua Hudson

Nice, relaxing and always changing.

Ron Dorey

Excellent art gallery!

Kristy McCall Matheson

My kids and I went to the art gallery on the Rawlco Radio free day this weekend! My youngest had gone with her class and wanted us all to see the exhibit by Christi Belcourt they went to. That exhibit had beautiful pieces. We loved looking at all the other art exhibits too and seeing the special performances by the irish dancers and the metis dancers. Will definitely try to visit the gallery more!

Very good

Really cool Building

Claudio Della Valle

Interesting exhibits with local and international artists. Nice open layout. Great gift store with lots of Saskatchewan artists showcased.

Neha Maheshwari

Rare photos collection

Dan Lopez

Fun fact: One of the largest elevators in North America is inside this building. The elevator is not open to the public but it was a really neat thing to learn as I got to ride in it while setting up for a trade show. That being said, this gallery is a gem and worth a visit for those of you who are visiting out of town. Glad to have a gallery like this in my city.

Not much to see

Roberto Rodríguez

A pretty interesting art gallery.

PTS

Very good installations and loaned exhibits from other sources. Pretty impressive, actually. Affordable and accessible. And, like the 'Hip sang, it all ends in the gift shop.

Danny Lewis

It had some nice art, but it was pretty small and I was actually more impressed with the art in the gift shop.

Jeremy Pilon

A beautiful building and a ln always engaging rotation of art.

Ian Flegel

Nice art Gallery with space for events. Art/gift shop on main floor with some very nice items.

If Museums hold our past narrative, then Art Galleries have the opportunity to shape the vision we want for our future one. The Mackenzie Art Gallery in Regina is a STUNNING place! Walking in and seeing sculptures of elderly women, a pregnant woman reading a book, a child being kind to an elder in a wheel chair, an elderly couple clearly in love, amidst the most gorgeous indoor garden was a breathtaking, hope filling experience. The gallery's exhibitions were mindblowing, edgy, provocative and beautiful and left me full of questions and wonderings. An absolutely incredible building and experience.

Zia ur Rehman Ahmed

It's a beautiful place and lot of green grass and grounds to play for kids.

Robert Last

Overrated. The prices are really high for what we got. We went there and most of the exhibits were closed. They had some videos as exhibits that were quite pointless and not art. It was boring in general.

Carma Daria Companiona

We went to the Mackenzie art gallery on a Saturday afternoon thinking that it might be quite busy but in fact it wasn't there were a number of tour guides available in fact quite anxious to help us out they were number of exhibits that were interesting and the tour guides were quite knowledgeable about the exhibits we were unable to see the Inuit carvings they were put away for the moment I guess to make space for the other exhibits we found that the entire experience was was quite good at the same time we went to the tour the building itself including all of the statues that are on display in the TC Douglas building the commissioner was very helpful he knew that history of every statue of every picture every sculpture that was around there he even allowed us to go up the elevator which had a window on one side so we were able to see pretty far away overall it was a very very welcoming experience we were quite happy with our experience and it caused us to reflect a lot particularly the one exhibit was quite thought-provoking so I recommend the visit I think that and certainly the gift shop was full of items to tempt you to bring home things.

Sara N. Robertson

Inclusive and comfortable gallery, beautiful exhibit!

JP Pasnak

Very well laid out and interesting exhibits.

Michael Wang

A nice place to go and visit on a slow or lazy day. Free admission though they have a donation box.

Mehrdad Safaei

Probably the best place in Regina for art. Also it's the biggest gallery of the city! But compare to other cities it is not, but yeah you are in Regina:))) the exhibitions are various but almost all are very good and it's free! Huuray There is a nice cafe that you can try and they have very good coffee as well as there is an store at the beginning which has very beautiful fancy fantasy old-fashion artistic stuffs! But yep it is expensive! So don't check it if you are like me and cannot resist lolll

Ky Vo

Clean, small and quiet place to be in thought with the art. You may take pictures but not in flash mode. Some piece of art allows some interactions with it. Overall my experience was good.

Katie Salmers

We always try to visit the gallery when we’re in town. The staff are very knowledgeable.

Patricia Masse

Enjoyed the exhibits, though not really my preference in art at this time.

Dеmid Hordenko

Boring

Sarang More

We have a great afternoon..

(Translated) Enhancement of artists from the region is well presented and the place is first class. (Original) Mise en valeur d'artistes de la région, c'est bien présenté et l'endroit est de première classe.

Paige Lyons

Really enjoy going to this place. Calm atmosphere and friendly staff. I also enjoy the new cafe there. Great food, fast service but just a little too overpriced in my personal opinion.. but I am a broke university student so that makes a difference. In the end my experience was 10 for 10 would recommend and cant wait to go back there again.

kobus vermaak

Great place, personally I did not like the art that was displayed but it was just not for me.

Peter Mayer

A nice modern looking gallery. Admission is by donation. Very nice gift shop with a good selection of items.

Kyllo Brooks

Great place to spend some time, your experience of course depends on the exhibits and your personal taste in art.

Trena Kraft

Great art gallery. There is an admission fee of $10. It also has a cafe on site.

Pauline Relkey

Always have such varied and interesting things for sale. Bought myself a pair of purple/green socks that match and don’t match - the latest craze today. Prices are very high.

Kevin Osicki

Fantastic, well worth a stop if you are looking for something to do. There are typically rotating exibits of art to keep it fresh along with some permeant pieces. Staff are always helpful and love to talk about the pieces. The gift shop is awesome for unique gifts.

Steve M

A clean and welcoming gallery. Cool gift shop and classy Cafe.

Andrew Reid

Great wedding venue. Very central. Long thin room though, can be tough to hear from the back

Randy Berends

Mainly empty space- more to see in the art shop than in the whole gallery

刘熙南Xinan Liu

(Translated) One of the must-see places to visit Regina, the exhibits are updated from time to time, open at 10 o'clock, no tickets required. Moreover, the intimate portable seat allows the audience to sit quietly and enjoy the exhibits. (Original) 到访Regina必选之处之一，展品时时更新，十点开门，不需要门票。而且，有贴心的便携坐椅，方便观众静静地坐着欣赏展品。

Jess Leeper

Nice local, Saskatchewan exhibits and artists. Small space and not enough exhibit changes/turn arounds.

Douglas Schneider

Beautiful facility in Wascana Park. Cicansky show shares 50 year history is a local artist. Very interesting. Worth the time to visit.

yvonne schalk

Went to visit the gallery today after being unable to register ahead of time for the free Rawlco addimission. The web site simply only flashed red. Then after the visit I was also unable to access the on line survey with the website. While at the gallery we visited a couple exhibit rooms and then went on a tour. There were 3 leaders and three participants. I could not understand the lady who could barely speak English. I could not hear what the man said through his mask, with no microphone and a motor going in the next room to keep an inflatable castle up. Some tour. That's okay, I could not understand the principles involved with the displays taking up whole rooms when a 5 foot wall would have sufficed. The gift shop was nice and the workers friendly. I asked why local art shows are not supported and they didn't know. Seems like all the local talent is overlooked. I know established artists need promoting too but I there would be very little time and energy needed to support local artists with a weekend show! There are lots of wonderful artists in Regina that would draw a crowd.

Raj M

Art lovers will get a treat. I love going here while in Regina

Priscila Coelho

Small and expensive

Marlène Da Silva

Nice place with free wifi, nice staff and a good souvenir "art" shop. Go at left when you entry in the building entrance. I did not specially was attracted and charmed by the arts. But with the free admission and donation system I was happy to be able to go by myself and make my own opinion about. This is interesting to spend few hours there

Angelica Guadalupe Gutierrez Garcia

Jean-François Lachance Benitez

(Translated) Very well ! Alex Janvier is a remarkable painter with a rich history! To have ! (Original) Très bien ! Alex Janvier est un peintre remarquable avec une histoire riche! À voir !

Carolyn Woodall

Great staff! Really interesting exhibits. Lots of space around each piece for viewing, yet the groups allowed them to speak in themes together. Nice coffee place, and wonderful gift shop.

Šimun Petar Jelavić

Beautiful artworks, useful guides

Rob Vida

Nice building. Beautiful landscaping. Suitable for photos.

Spencer Mack

Love this place. Must check out the new cafe on the main floor.

Karen Bolton

Coffee was great, would like the option of lactose free 2 percent milk as an option, as soya, coconut etc is not milk, it is an alternative. Most of the baking was burnt, so really not appealing. Pleasant service

Deb Ryan

Great place to see local artists and it's free

Alric Reid

Great ambiance!

farzod darzi

One of my favorite places in Regina. They have a diverse exhibition selection. The gift shop is a good place to buy cute things for people you love or artzi. They have a venue upstairs for rent which is a great place if you have an event.

Kayla Kresowaty

Kind and welcoming staff! Very clean and safe to walk through.

Stevie Souvenir

(Translated) I loved the free day and the works of art that were there. There were also short films and the room was empty. I liked. It would be nice if the service was in 2 official languages of the country. (Original) J'ai adoré la journée gratuite et les oeuvres d'arts qui y étaient. Il y avait aussi des courts métrages et la salle était vide. J'ai bien aimé. Ça serait bien que le service soit en 2 langues officielles du pays.

Lynne Cummer

It is an awesome place to visit

oscar chocano

Great art, will be back

Marybeth Dirks

Unfortunately I had an extremely disappointing experience here. There were only three exhibitions open, one of which was a malfunctioning film. The staff seemed inconvenienced by my presence and were not very friendly.

Javad Soroush

So traffic

Marta Koszmider

Always something free and interesting activities available

Devin Zerr

THINK ABOUT ART!

Beate Pradel

Note - admission is $10, far too high for this gallery. It should be $5 as a recommend donation in line with the other museum nearby. The ceramic collection (folk art) had far too many pieces and it was rather repetitive. I noticed a few J. Fafard sculptures which were amazing, these should not have been hidden but displayed near the entrance. There were also a few paintings in a smaller section.

Jay F

Definitely worth a visit. I've been coming to Regina every few weeks for a couple years and finally had a chance to visit the gallery. I will be back.

PatricH c-m

Great Art

Samantha Popp

I love coming here every so often to see some new artwork displayed! It's free and they have the cutest gift shop! You can get lost in there! There's so much space up there that you almost need a map to cover the entire place and make sure you get to see everything!

Jared R

Very neat spot to visit, free to walk around basic galleries

Patrick Burns

Wonderful Art gallery unfortunately hidden within a large government building. Once you go in, the various galleries are very spacious and the exhibitions are always of great interest. The new "Charles Eames" cafe is terrific.

Matt Thompson

Inspires me to try and be a better artist. Then I remember that I lack time and all initiative. Nice gallery and friendly staff at the gift shop!

García Adame Diego

It's a beautiful place , where you can saw different paintings

Kayla Gelowitz

Great place to come and explore art. There are excellent, knowledgeable staff to help out, and awesome family programs.

Eric Poirier

It was nice. Not that many exhibitions. Pretty downstairs area with trees. Nice visit if you are into arts.

Eber Hampton

Wonderful winter solstice celebration this (2019) year

Carla Keutmann

Very great art expos and wonderful gift shop????

Jeffry Burgess

A great place to spend a Sunday afternoon. Albeit it would be nice if the sculpture gallery in the back were open to the public or a little more available at times, but the gallery does a great job. Helpfully and friendly staff, gift shop worth checking out.

Rick Wanner

A decent gallery for a city the size of Regina.

Tomo Suru

Worth the time. Nice variety of pieces on display.

Reade Holtslander

Largest and well appointed art gallery in the city. Have many well thought out exhibits from their own collection but also host travelling shows as well. Pretty kid friendly and they have an art space on the main floor to try your hand at art yourself.

Codee Summers

I love this place me and my family go often

Trista Lewis

Beautiful location in Regina that I wish was utilized more. Can't wait until their renovation is fully finished, and to try out the new cafe!

Jom L

Get a glimpse of the visual arts scene of Saskatchewan in this museum. There are new exhibitions from time to time. Gift shop has a lit to offer.

chinwe ogolo

It was a nice place.

tanya chandra

Lovely paintings and beautiful art pieces. Love their activities for kids and adults.

Caitlin Grant

Came with a group of kids for a field trip--our facilitators were great and made the experience amazing for the kids.

karen whitman

Amber K-D

I love the MacKenzie Art Gallery. I went to their holiday Bazaart. Greatly enjoyed myself and seeing all of the fantastic artists out there. Great fun!

Andreza Menezes

(Translated) wonderful place! (Original) lugar maravilhoso!

Forest Brightfield

I am very sad that there is now an entrance fee to get into the gallery. The Mackenzie used to be my top destination place when I was too broke to do anything or go anywhere. I will definitely not be coming here as often, unfortunately.

Richard I

Have not been inside the exhibition, but others' have told me this is a good art exhibition. I parked in the car park, which is free parking and could afford the outdoor art and craft market. I am wondering why I am paying to enter the market to be sold stuff. After all, all the vendors are paying to be there to sell me stuff and now I have less money to spend on vendors. I don't need to pay to enter any other kind of market or store.

Asad “Arcane”

Small gallery with a decent collection of art work. If you're in Regina with a few mins to spare, drop by. The admission is free and the gallery is housed in a very well designed building.

Sara McKinley Real Estate Professional

The right spot to spend an early morning, late afternoon or weekend - actually, anytime or day would be right! Vibrant gallery with a quaint coffee shop. Coffee is brewed by local roasters 33 1/3 and fresh eats are made throughout the day. Note: If you want to jazz up your drink with cinnamon after you’ve ordered, you will have to ask the barista for help! Overall, I felt inspired in this space. Will return with clients and friends.

Quentin Friesen

It's free and is often updating their galleries. Definitely recommend.

Russell Duffy

Bazaart!

David Nicholson

One of my favorite spots in the city. Always worth a stop.

shevy willing

It was great.

Gael Dumontet

A small art gallery with free admission, good for 2hours long visits. It displays all kinds of arts, not just paintings. Next to the pieces there sometimes is a comprehensive explanation text, which I appreciated for the more abstract ones. A nice little place, overall.

susan north

Regina's largest art gallery with good space and exhibitions also a good gift shop

Codee Sumners

Breath it in

Laura Dumont

Always a great place to visit. Exhibits are culturally diverse and artistically diverse plus much exposure to 1st nations art. The store is wonderful if you're looking for gifts...and the staff is always helpful & knowledgable. A great place for Regina.

Ian Bruce

Great atmosphere and staff

Jonathan Nicoll

Favourite place in all Regina

It's a hit or miss with the art exhibits. Do your research before you go to see if you will like them.

Paul Hamill

They do wonderful work here! Great place to take a date or the kids.

Art is one good thing to clarify thoughts and i recommend this place for u.

S. Colpitts

Every time I go to Regina I stop at the Mackenzie. Love it, they have great exhibits. It's by donation so it can be a cheap way to spend a couple hours (although I highly encourage people to leave a bit).

Shazia Anwar

Clean and neat and big

Ushma Desai

Lovely place!!!

Brad Zakreski

Fantastic to visit! They even have super kids programs to try out their arts skills. In the past they've even had impressionist art on display!

The MacKenzie always has interesting exhibits on display. I try to drop in every couple of months. Check out the gift shop if you are looking for a unique gift.

Simon v

The Cicansky exhibit was the most enjoyable exhibit I have seen in a gallery for years. This made my trip to Regina worthwhile! The visit was made even better with the display of local Sask. artists such as William Perehudoff, Dorothy Knowles, and Reta Cowley. It is a small gallery but this exhibit punched far, far, above its weight! Contrary to what another reviewer reported from a few weeks ago, this gallery does charge admission ($10) and this display is easily worth that.

Kim

I was there for cibc run for the cure, such a beautiful place!

Tim Markiw

Nice selection of art to look at

Melody Crick

Love the bright open space, love the various pieces of art and exibits that come through the gallery, great building, great statues. Friendly staff.

Elsie Flannigan

Loved Punk Orientalism!

Sidni Brock

Bazaart, I always leave with some awesome treasures and feeling refreshed.

Randy O'shaughnessy

Thanks for letting us see the great display.

Paul Sherman

Wow.. an unexpected treat. Displays were very well done although the message was not always clear.. I put that down to my lack of familiarity with the topics. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable and pay particular attention to Covid. The gift shop is the absolute best I have seen with a ton of quality.

yolanda louw

Wow

Perry Kerney

A gem of culture located on the edge of a fabulous green space.

Jim Hall

Prairie Dome U pick

Excellent exhibition by Victor Cicansky! Restrooms available. Gift shop open.

Glen Scrimshaw

Great place plus they sell my artwork there.

Jennifer Burnett

The Stone Angel exhibit along with the short films in the theater were very insightful, very interesting. Half the gallery was closed during the day of my visit, but the staff only charged me 1/2 the price of a regular admission. The visit was well worth it.

Blair Hornung

World class gallery

Michele May

This art gallery a variety of art forms. The last one was composed of soapstone carvings by northern natives, oil paintings by various artists, in one part of the gallery from a private collection. Another section held art owned by the gallery itself. The exhibits change from time to time so it is best to inquire before attending. The price is right - no fee. Yes, like most galleries in Regina there is no cost. There is also a gift shop on the premises that carries a wide selection of fine art, China, jewelry, etc. It is time well spent if you are an art lover.

Marie Clipperton

Entrance by donation, which is nice as it allows for people of more limited means to enjoy the gallery. Gallery was just fine, but exhibits were not really to our taste. Friendly helpful staff. I used the railing to get down the stairs and my hand turned black and grey with dirt and grime! If we are ever back in Regina with an hour to kill, we'd probably go back, just isn't something we would carve special time out during a visit to do.

Jackie Eastwood

Such an incredible place!!!

Wally Fuddwick

Me and my girlfriend love going to the art gallery, just for 10-15 minutes each time to just see the new stuff and appreciate art, but now they are charging 10 dollars admission per person to enter the gallery. Definetly not worth it and will not be going anymore. Just horrible. We are both extremely upset because we go so much but 20 dollars for both of us each time is just ridiculous.

dakota peters

Loved the multi cultural art.

Carl Worth

Only visited gift shop but very pleasant experience Staff was helpful. Ideal place to shop for Christmas gifts with decidely local touch.

isaac kreutzer

Kimberley S

Beautiful facility.

geanna dunbar

Always a ???? pleasure

Sharon Lewchuk

Well organized, clean, interesting items in their shop. Always very good quality art on display. A temporary shortage of parking because of road and parking lot construction and repaving.

Raychael Giesbrecht

The Indiginous artist focus was amazing. Incredible to see all the art from the early 90 - today. The skateboard section was beautiful and well done.

Julia Hart

Great gallery. Has free admission days.

Scott E

Great facility with lots of interesting nooks and crannies.

Kendall Wightman

I have no idea what the positive reviews are talking about. The exhibits were sad disturbing exhibits at best. The one was a roll of wire on a rock. How the "f" is that art? The most enjoyable part of it all was the gift shop.

Tom Heck

Not much of a review as I just make deliveries there periodically. I see they have some events that go on and exhibits of artists as well. Look forward to looking around when have more time
