The Asian Heritage Month Art Exhibition is created with three sections:

Section 1: Artwork by Asian Student-artists

The first section of the exhibition will feature artwork created by Asian students from the University of Saskatchewan’s Art and Art History Department. Over the years, we have seen numerous outstanding works by students of Asian heritage. These young student-artists, from countries such as China, Syria, Iran, Vietnam, Philippines, Bangladesh, and more, are using visual art to explore themes of culture, language, and identity. Their work represents the diverse and rich artistic expressions of the Asian diaspora.

Section 2: Artists reflection on trip to China
In the summer of 2019, a group of faculties and BFA students from the Art and Art History Department traveled to China. In 2025, after six years, many of the participating students have developed artwork inspired by their experiences during that trip. This exhibition will showcase their evolving artistic responses to Chinese culture and their reflections on the trip. These emerging artists, now graduated, will bring a collaborative memory of China before 2020 into the gallery space through their unique visual languages.

Section 3: Professional Asian Artists and their Artwork

The third section will feature work from professional Asian artists, many of whom were once visiting scholars at the University of Saskatchewan. This collection includes calligraphy, painting, and sculpture, offering a window into the practices of established artists. These pieces not only reflect the professional caliber of the artists but also highlight the University of Saskatchewan's longstanding ties with art communities in Asia.


The exhibition will be introduced with an opening celebration and will conclude with a closing reception, providing an opportunity for visitors to engage with the artists and the themes of the show.
