Opening Reception Saturday, October 15, 10:00 am
Sale of Prints via Lottery Begins at 10:30 am
The 2016 Cape Dorset Print Collection consists of 27 images by seven artists. Since 1959 the Cape Dorset Annual Print Collection has showcased the best and brightest Inuit art from West Baffin Island. More than a half century of printmaking has developed the technical sophistication and innovation aesthetic which has become a hallmark of Kinngait Studios. Each collection tells a new story, and this year’s chapter is an homage to Inuit art history and cultural heritage. Whether it is depictions of wildlife or legend, Inuit people or the land, the work of the featured seven artists find fresh inspiration in tradition.
