The University of Winnipeg Art Collection

The University of Winnipeg has a collection of nearly 1,200 works by more than 240 artists which have been acquired mostly through donations from artists, collectors, staff, alumni and friends of the University. About one-third of this collection is displayed on campus year-round. Paintings, prints, drawings, photographs, and sculptures can be found in public spaces as well as in departmental areas and administrative offices.

Historically, the collecting mandate has been the acquisition of artworks by recognized Canadian artists, especially those associated with Manitoba. In recent years, the University’s Art Curator examined the makeup of the collection from the perspective of equity, diversity and inclusion. It was discovered that the collection has disproportionately few works created by artists from equity-deserving communities, including artists who are Indigenous, Black, people of colour, 2SLGBTQ+, disabled and women.

We are striving to rectify this imbalance in a number of ways. We presently have a moratorium on acquisitions, with the exception of pieces created by artists from equity-deserving communities. In 2023, we received a generous donation from the Honorable Ruth Krindle of seven artworks created by Indigenous artists Cliff DuBois, Robert Kakegamic, Ted Oster and Garry Young. We were also pleased to receive a modest sum to purchase new works for the collection. The Art Curator and University’s Art Collection Committee prioritized the acquisition of works by two Indigenous and Black artists who have a Winnipeg connection. This includes a limited edition digital print by established Métis artist Rosalie Favell and two silkscreen prints by rising star Chukwudubem Ukaigwe.

To inquire about gifts to the University's art collection, please contact Gallery 1C03 Director/Curator Jennifer Gibson.

Researchers are welcome to contact Gallery 1C03. We have a collection database, artist files, digital images for collection works and previous Gallery 1C03 exhibitions, as well as a selection of contemporary art exhibition catalogues and periodicals. These resources are accessible by appointment.
