The Gordon Snelgrove Gallery is a teaching facility and a public gallery. It is one of four in the   University Art Galleries and Collection constellation and provides an anchor to the creative academic development and production of the university. It offers a venue for new work by artists, curators and researchers within the department and operates as a site of direct exchange with the local arts ecology.

The gallery was named in honour of Gordon Snelgrove (1898–1966), a painter, faculty member and possibly the first art historian in Canada to receive a PhD in his discipline. The gallery also maintains and displays works by graduating students from the Art and Art History Collection. Since 2020, art from this collection has become available for viewing online through the Museums Association of Saskatchewan (MAS), and is consistently updated with new works.

The gallery is located at 191 Murray Building alongside the Department of Art and Art History in the School for the Arts. It is open Monday to Friday, 10am to 4pm, and is closed for weekends and holidays, unless stated otherwise.
