This list is provisional, made up of entries from my Saskatchewan Art News Index to 1920 and selections from the Regina Leader-Post and its predecessors 1920-1950 and reports from the Regina LCW Arts & Letters Committee. I have used the format: approximate dates, title where known or description, sponsoring or hosting body and location of exhibit. Group exhibitions precedes the list of solo exhibitions. As I am conserving the limited blog space, the exhibition lists do not contain any links. Feel free to look up the reports yourself using the dates of the exhibitions as guides. I will be linking newspaper reports of the majority of these exhibitions in other posts dealing with specific associations, themes or artists and my introductory essay on the Exhibition Lists also contains links to some of them.
*All art exhibitions originating outside and travelling into the province are marked in blue, all originating from and travelling outside the province are marked in purple.
**Re: Annual summer agricultural fairs. The Regina fair began in 1883 but a professional board wasn’t set up until 1906. Prize lists appear in the newspaper during the summer fairs and more than occasionally mention art. I have selected some reports of the outstanding exhibitions at the fairs but the list is far from comprehensive. Special summer exhibitions were held in Regina in 1895 (Territorial Exhibition included displays from all parts of the NWT), 1911 (Dominion Exhibition) and 1933 (World Grain Growers Exhibition). There was also a special pioneer celebration in Regina in 1942 celebrating 50 years of the city. In the late 1920s the art exhibitions became more ambitious and professional and many of these later ones are listed. Note that in Saskatchewan the term fair and exhibition were both used interchangeably for these events. I have used the term fair to avoid confusion with the art exhibitions held within them.
***This list contains a few mentions of art exhibitions in other Saskatchewan communities around Regina. I have placed them under Regina because they were announced in the Leader-Post. This list would be much longer if I had digital access to other Saskatchewan newspapers.
