Studio Visit Series
The Mendel Art Gallery facilitates studio visits to connect visiting arts professionals with artists working in the community. Artists who are interested in participating in the studio visit series are encouraged to register online through the Saskatoon Studio Visit Registry.
The registry is made available to select local, national, and international arts professionals including curators, arts writers, senior visual artists, researchers, and art critics, who are interested in visiting local artists’ studios. The studio visits are arranged by gallery staff in consultation with the visiting arts professional. The registry is free and portfolio submissions are accepted on an ongoing basis.

- Portfolios will be accepted from Post Secondary Students, Emerging and Established Professional Visual Artists.
