The University of Regina maintains an extensive collection of visual art that is a legacy stretching back to the institution's earliest days as Regina College. Known as the President's Art Collection, this set of works has expanded during the tenure of each University of Regina President, and includes a wide variety of pieces in different media. Select pieces from the President's Art Collection are displayed publicly on campus - some permanently, and some in rotation - in keeping with the University's mission of providing the most beautiful, thought-provoking and culturally rich learning and work environment possible.

The President's Art Collection is overseen by the President's Advisory Committee on Art (PACA). The Terms of Reference  pdf and Policies and Procedures pdf describe the responsibilities, composition and membership of PACA and the Curator/Preparator.
