We provide the University with a fine arts component that would otherwise be absent: a location where aesthetic appreciation and criticism may develop and where related cultural issues may be examined. Professional Gallery staff conduct an ongoing program of research display and interpretation of artworks and publication of scholarly catalogues, exhibition brochures and educational materials.

Saint Mary's traces its earliest beginnings to 1802 when the Reverend Edmund Burke, later Bishop Burke, taught young men at the Glebe House, on the corner of Spring Garden Road and Barrington Street. The boys' school grew first into a college and then into a university, never wavering in its commitment to education and community service.
The Sou'Wester Gift & Restaurant Co. began in 1967 as a small five table tearoom at the side of a house at its present location. It has been expanded over the last five decades to a 180-seat restaurant offering traditional Maritime and seafood dishes, and a two-level gift shop with one of the Maritimes largest selections of giftware. Today, more than 50 years later, The Sou'Wester is still run by the family of its founder, Jack Campbell.
