The McMullen Gallery
The McMullen Art Gallery is operated by the Friends of University Hospitals as part of the Arts in Healthcare program. Open since 1986, this public gallery is a haven to which anyone may retreat and relax, reflect, share a quiet visit, or view the latest display of fine visual art and crafts by individual artists, collectives, associations, and organizations. The gallery provides exhibits aimed at inspiring, educating, and engaging our audience.
Shows
The McMullen Gallery is a 900 sq. ft. gallery consisting of 175 running feet in a highly public area located next to the 112 Street entrance of the University Hospital. The McMullen Gallery hosts both group and solo submissions.
The McMullen Art Gallery hosts six unique shows per year, showcasing the talents of western canadian artists.
Artist on the Ward, Bev Ross, performs at a wellness workshop held at the McMullen Art Gallery.
Selected art may range from textiles and sculptures to water colours and oil-based paintings.
Drop-In Studios featuring local artists are free of charge and open to patients and hospital visitors.
Many of the art pieces on display during a show are available for sale through direct contact with the artist(s).
