Mendel's Murals is an entrepreneurial, non-profit public arts group. We enable Saskatoon public art projects which might be difficult for individuals or institutions. We initially came together to save the Perehudoff murals commissioned by Fred Mendel for his Meat Packing Plant offices, which were demolished in 2008. Our success in that project motivated us to continue pursuing public art works meaningful to Saskatoon. We are not affiliated with the former Mendel Art Gallery.

A Possible Home for the Murals!
Last night Art Knight addressed city council to clarify plans for the new art gallery at River Landing. Mr. Knight is Chair of the Mendel Art Gallery Board of Trustees. When asked how the new gallery would address honouring Fred Mendel Mr. Knight explained an intention to build a 'Mendel Salon' in the gallery to house our Perehudoff murals!
