Do you ever wonder, as you walk by, what’s going on in the practice rooms of the Education Building, the studios in the Murray Building or the classes in the John Mitchell Building? What are the fine arts majors doing in there?
The Gordon Snelgrove Gallery, Quance Theatre and Greystone Theatre performances exist to remedy some of that mystery. This year, a new initiative adds itself to the roster of events bringing student art to the community.

With Christmas soon upon us, I have been trying to come up with some ideas to make the season more affordable while simultaneously developing strategies to avoid the mall. In order to save time, money and add a personal touch to gifting this year, here are some options for cost-effective gift and decoration ideas.

The current exhibition at the Gordon Snelgrove Gallery is Construct!, an MFA visual arts exhibition showcasing work from students of both the University of Regina and the University of Saskatchewan. This show not only provides art lovers with an opportunity to view work from artists they may not be familiar with, but also with a chance to muse upon the flavourful collision of artists navigating through the Masters program.

In the market for some new artwork to brighten up that dilapidated hovel you call a home? Why not stop by the VASU art auction, Silence!, and take your pick from a selection of fantastic pieces of student artwork. Everything is reasonably priced, and you can gorge yourself on fancy hor d’oeuvres to your heart’s content. There’s even going to be a live DJ — none of that elevator music in the background bullshit. Buying anything at the event supports student artists and future exhibitions.

Two graduates from the B.F.A. program, Vanya Hanson and Lindsay Klassen, both have something to say about the way we deal with the space around us, within us and even on us.
Shell, the show by Vanya Hanson takes space and turns it into a mystifying playground. As I walked into the Snelgrove Gallery I was drawn by noises of echoes, bubbles, resonance and small speech. This place is as provocative as it is ambient: warm peaches, purples, oranges and beiges surrounded with accents of blue and green light. It is both alien and of-the-body.

I just went to write a review.
Some time later I was lying on the floor in a dark room. Only black light. Above, dancers whirled neon-laced hula-hoops and fiberoptic rainbow wands. They wore tight black suits with fringy neon epaulettes.
