Government House invites artists to submit exhibition proposals for the QEII Gallery space for consideration. Government House is a National Historic Site and Provincial Heritage Property. Our mission is to provide visitors with an accessible historic place to preserve, promote and celebrate Saskatchewan's living heritage. The Government House QEII Gallery space aims to exhibit artworks that reflect the diverse stories of the people, histories, and communities of Saskatchewan while providing a supportive platform for Saskatchewan-based artists to display their work. There are no specific themes required for submissions, although proposals that connect in some way to the mission of Government House are encouraged.
