My Wilderness
June 4 - August 1, 2026
I have lived most of my life in forested areas- always appreciating the “trees of life” as the sentinels of our planet. It is something you don’t really have to explain- their presence elicits feelings of comfort and wonderment in our cycle of life. The circular shape of some of the paintings represents a state of infinity as if they will be in this world forever. Shapes of branches and tree trunks along with plays on light create movement in the pieces. This movement pushes the shapes around the circular edges of the paintings.

Art$ Funding
Christopher Campbell Gardiner, Glen Johnson, Milton Lim & Patrick Blenkarn
May 8 - July 4, 2026
Opening Reception: Friday, May 8, 5 - 8 PM
Art$ Funding at the Art Gallery of Regina is a playful yet piercing exhibition that exposes the real-world frustrations, emotional toll, and hidden labor behind the pursuit of arts funding in Canada. Through satirical, witty, and thought-provoking works, artists and collectives lay bare the bureaucratic hoops, elusive dollars, and misunderstood value of creative work, inviting visitors to see that art is far from a frivolous pastime.
The exhibition features a diverse range of works, including Silton, Saskatchewan-based artist Christopher Campbell Gardiner, who transforms failed grant applications and other unseen administrative and emotional artifacts into art by sealing them in intricate embroidery and layers of paint. Gardiner’s process is both an act of healing and a powerful statement about the struggles artists face behind the scenes. Interactive installations invite visitors to enter the fray themselves: Glen Johnson’s Artistic Licence Bureau offers a tongue-in-cheek exploration of artistic validation and identity, while Patrick Blenkarn and Milton Lim’s high-stakes card game, culturecapital, set in a pulsating environment of lights and sound, lets gallery-goers experience the luck, chance, and strategy involved in arts funding.
Art$ Funding also raises timely questions about the future of impartial, arms-length arts support in Canada. As governments increasingly underfund arts councils and boards, the exhibition champions the need to protect these essential structures to ensure freedom of expression and support for challenging art.

Of Monsters & Minds
May 5 - July 2, 2026
Antique, story–rich objects are repurposed as surfaces with underlying narratives of the classic monster archetype, the feared presence that holds a misunderstood and unspoken interior. These images reflect the human psyche – at times catastrophic and fear mongering, and at others inquisitive, curious, self-determined, and resilient.
