Perehudoff Room
An Antechamber to the Mendel Gallery will be dedicated for the Perehudoff murals, . . .
The design of the antechamber will be based on the dimensions of the old Mendel office as indicated in the drawing that follows. In addition to the Perehudoff murals, the antechamber will also display photographs, illustruations, and text that explain the history of the Mendel Art Gallery, and pay tribute to the legacy of Fred Mendel and the Mendel family.
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.
