OUTSIDE THE BOX: MEMBERS' EXHIBITIONS
The Art Gallery of Regina (AGR) has a long history of working with and supporting local art guilds and artists. The AGR presents a series of open access exhibitions entitled Outside the Box (hallway gallery and glass display case). These non-curated shows complement main gallery programming by providing additional opportunities for members and local artists to show and sell their work.
Contact the AGR office at 306-522-5940 or info@artgalleryofregina.ca to purchase artworks. Artworks can also be purchased through the AGR's website: www.artgalleryofregina.ca/shop
For information on how to apply for an Outside the Box exhibition, please see our submissions page.
Current Outside The Box Exhibitions
Hallway Gallery
Lorraine Weidner
Whimsical Flowers + Chairs
May 18 - June 28, 2023
Artist's Statement
Artist Lorraine Weidner probes the reactiveness of flowers — their sensitivity to colour, sound, precipitation, touch, and temperature and their effects on humans — in her oil bar, pastel and graphite works. She has recently turned her sensitive investigations to chairs as objects intimately connected to the human body.
Lorraine Weidner has been making art for 35 years. She began her career as an artist when she enrolled in George Glenn’s class at Emma Lake. She works primarily with oil paint, oil bar, and pastel.
View and purchase in-person at the Art Gallery of Regina (2420 Elphinstone Street) or online.

Bonnie McBride
Pieces of Me
May 18 - June 28, 2023
Artist's Statement
During the COVID lockdown, Bonnie McBride expanded her book and journal-making practice to hardcover and softcover books. McBride describes her handmade books as "fractured, renewed, and reconstructed." Each unique book in the exhibition
Pieces of Me incorporates favourite bits of fabric and paper, stitched and bound into signatures and paired with covers fashioned from hand-painted paper, rag paper, book cloth, leather, or bamboo paper. McBride's materials run the gamut from mixed media, watercolour, eco-dyed prints, and hand-painted paper to digital printables and junk journals. McBride further personalizes her books with pockets and "tuck spots" for treasures.
Bonnie McBride has been creating art for 25 years. Her mark-making practice extends to many media, including painting in watercolours, acrylics, and oils and drawing in ink, coloured pencil and soft pastels. She also enjoys sewing and slow stitching, which she has incorporated, along with collage techniques, into a body of works called Pieces of Me.
View and purchase in-person at the Art Gallery of Regina (2420 Elphinstone Street) or online.
