Contemporary North: An Exhibition of Inuit Art / Le Nord Contemporain: Une Exposition d'Art Inuit
January 8 - February 28, 2016
Ottawa School of Art’s Orleans Gallery & LaLande + Doyle exhibition space in the Shenkman Arts Centre, Orleans.
Reception: Sunday, February 21, Reception from 1pm to 3pm.
"This show is a collection of works by contemporary Inuit artists working in drawing, printmaking sculpture and tapestry. It highlights a great collection of current northern art, featuring work from the students of Nunavut Arctic College as well as prints from the youth of the Embassy of Imagination."
It is a thrill to have our Cape Dorset youth artists' prints recognized and invited to be a part of this beautiful exhibition, featuring work from incredible established Inuit Artists. The highlight was seeing Susie Saila's print hanging across the room from her father Toonoo Sharkey's carving. Congratulations to: Cie Taqiasaq, Charlie Tunnillie, Ruth Jaw, Gogo Curley, Saaki Nuna, Tommu Quvianaqtuliaq, Parr Etidloie, Audi Qinnuayuaq, and Joanasie Tunnillie!
