The University of Winnipeg's Permanent Collection of Fine Art

The University of Winnipeg has a Permanent Collection of Fine Art including approximately 1000 works by more than 165 artists, and nearly one-third of this collection is displayed on campus year-round! Paintings, prints, drawings, photographs, sculptures, textiles, and even stained glass windows can be found in public spaces as well as in departmental areas and administrative offices.

The University's collecting mandate is the acquisition of artworks by established 20th century and contemporary Manitoba artists or artists associated with Manitoba. Pieces by accomplished 20th century and contemporary Canadian artists are also collected. Of particular interest is visual art that relates to the history of the institution and to the city of Winnipeg. The corridors of Wesley Hall, for example, are lined with portraits of former University Presidents and Chancellors.
