Established in 1977, the Assiniboia Gallery showcases contemporary and traditional works of art by established and emerging visual artists from across Canada. The gallery’s selection includes original watercolour, oil, and acrylic paintings as well as encaustic works, sterling silver jewellery, blown glass, ceramics, sculpture and photography. Artwork is exhibited in group and solo shows throughout the year in the gallery.
Located in an extensively renovated and expanded circa 1905 house, the gallery is within easy walking distance of Regina’s downtown hotels, shops and restaurants. It features over 2,000 square feet of exhibition space on the main floor and a full service, professional framing department on the lower level.
Our specialty is helping customers find just the right piece for their homes or offices. Drop by the gallery in person, browse our website, send us an email or text, or book an appointment with us online—we’d love to have the opportunity to work with you.
Gallery Staff
The people who work at the Assiniboia Gallery mesh together really well. While their own pursuits and quirks keep the gallery engaging, it’s the things they have in common that make it fun: a love of CBC radio, an insatiable appetite for lunches from the neighbourhood cafes, and the innate understanding that cupcakes are appropriate for any occasion (“Keep calm and eat cupcakes!”). They are a group of people who love what they do and it shows.
Mary and Jeremy Weimer – Gallery Owners
Since acquiring the gallery in 1999, Mary and Jeremy’s approach has been to showcase original, Canadian fine art in an atmosphere that is friendly and relaxed, to help people find just the right piece for their homes or offices and to provide exceptional service. It’s all about making the purchase of artwork a great experience for the buyer.
