June is National Indigenous History Month in Canada, an important time to celebrate the heritage, diversity, and contributions of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples. It is also an opportunity to reflect on truth, reconciliation, and the ongoing impact of colonization.

In our Gallery, we currently have 2 exhibitions featuring art made by Indigenous Canadians!

Omentum is a series of 10 paintings that touch on several of the major experiences faced by Indigenous people in this country within recent memory. These paintings, influenced by the works of both Norval Morrisseau and also Pablo Picasso, speak to some of the major struggles and triumphs that are part of our everyday life as Indigenous people, such as the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Cultural Appropriation, the legacy of Residential Schools, the Rise and Honour of the Two-Spirited in the LGBTQ, the Return of Traditional Indigenous Tattooing, the Rise in Systemic Racism Online, and, of course, the Murder of Colten Boushie.

John Brady McDonald is a Nehiyawak-Métis writer, artist, historian, musician, playwright, actor and activist born and raised in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan. He is from the Muskeg Lake Cree Nation and the Mistawasis Nehiyawak. The great-great-great grandson of Chief Mistawasis of the Plains Cree, as well as the grandson of famed Métis leader Jim Brady, John’s writings and artwork have been displayed in various publications, private and permanent collections and galleries around the world, including the Canadian War Museum in Ottawa.

Step into story, identity and perspective.

Omentum by John Brady McDonald invites reflection on lived experiences, resilience and cultural reclamation.

Alongside it, selections from the City of Weyburn’s Permanent Collection deepen the conversation, weaving together identity, place and memory through Indigenous works.

Two exhibitions - one shared dialogue - at the Weyburn Art Gallery.

Last day to vote in JWPC - March 14.

James Weir was a believer in what art could do for a community.

A jeweller and businessman by trade, Weir wove the arts into the fabric of Weyburn at a time when few communities in Saskatchewan had anything like it.

Through his role in establishing the Weyburn Arts Council, acknowledged as the first arts council in Saskatchewan, he helped open the door for artists to be seen, ideas to take shape, and creativity to find its place in the life of the community.

That is why the James Weir People’s Choice means more than a vote cast at the gallery. It honours someone who helped ensure art would have a place in Weyburn, and it continues that vision by celebrating the artists and creativity that keep our community vibrant.

That legacy has long reached beyond Weyburn itself. In 1984, the first-ever recipient of the James Weir People’s Choice Award was celebrated Saskatchewan artist Yvette Moore. It was an early sign of what this exhibition would become: not only a community tradition, but a meaningful place for prairie artists, Saskatchewan voices and local audiences to meet.

That is the legacy of James Weir, not only remembered in name, but still felt every time someone walks through the Weyburn Art Gallery doors.

"A Good Day for Visiting"

Treaty 4 Territory artist Michael Lonechild captures a prairie winter as a lived experience. A warm horizon set against the calming choreography of footsteps, tracks and time spent together.

This piece was recently donated to the City of Weyburn's permanent collection and we are honoured to have this reproduction by one of Saskatchewan's most accomplished artists.
