The Remai Art Gallery of Saskatchewan capital campaign announced a donation today of $1-million from Tom and Diane McClocklin and their family.
“We believe that the Remai Art Gallery will be a real focal point of the community, and we’re pleased to be able to offer our support,” said Tom McClocklin.
The $71-million gallery is scheduled to open in 2015 at downtown’s River Landing.
Tom also said as Saskatoon draws newcomers from around the globe, it is becoming an important metropolitan centre, worthy of an exceptional gallery.
“We encourage corporations, families and individuals to recognize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to build a world-class art gallery.”
The multi-use gallery will provide more than three times the space as the Mendel Art Gallery and will house a civic collection worth $16-million.
