The Mendel Art Gallery is a major creative cultural centre in City Park, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, opened in 1964. Housing a permanent collection of works of local, regional and national significance, the Mendel is also known for its public programs for all ages. The Saskatoon Civic Conservatory is located adjacent to the Mendel and draws over 150,000 visitors a year.[1] The twinned facilities are located on the landscape of the west bank of the South Saskatchewan River.
| “ | We recognize our role and responsibility not merely as stewards of the art objects we collect, preserve, research, and present, but as a potent agent of social change, driven by the multiple social, cultural, and educational possibilities of an expanded vision for the public art museum. | ” |

— Terry Graff, former director and CEO of the Mendel Art Gallery
