Inuit art

We have a wide selection of Inuit sculpture, graphics and textiles. Spring brings the birds back outdoors, and we have a number of their counterparts in the gallery. �Three classic falcons from three communities are featured below: from left to right, falcons by Charlie Ugyuk (Gjoa Haven), Osuitok Ipeelie (Cape Dorset), and Paul Kavik (Sanikiluak).�
We mourn Kenojuak Ashevak's recent death, but we are pleased to have a number of her works, spanning her long career, in the gallery.�
