This article describes a print shop/community space which no longer exists. It remains on the wiki for historical reference.

Void Gallery was an artist-run centre that operated in Saskatoon from 2012 to 2022. It focused on supporting emerging artists and creating space for individuals and groups historically underrepresented in Saskatoon’s arts communities and the broader western art world. Over its nearly decade-long existence, Void adopted various forms, including a commercial gallery, printmaking studio, and a hub for community-based art practices. The organization was led throughout its operations by Métis artist Michael Peterson.

Although Void has ceased formal operations, several initiatives it launched remain active. Shop Cold Pizza, an art and apparel brand collaborating with artists nationwide, continues to release one to two collections annually. Void also contributed to establishing a screen print studio at the Core Neighbourhood Youth Co-op, providing ongoing training and support. Additionally, the zine collection initiated by the organization, featuring work from newcomers, Indigenous youth, people living with disabilities, and elders, continues to grow.
