At the Northern Lights Tradeshow in
Ottawa last February, the editor of Inuit
Art Quarterly, Christine Lalonde, went
on the stage to announce the return
of their publication, which was temporarily
shut down for a while when
the Foundation became inactive in
2012 because of financial reasons. This
magazine is a treat for anybody who
appreciates the fine arts in general,
and a treasure for those who love seeing
and reading about Inuit art. The new
issue is dedicated to one of the most
famous Inuit artists Kenojuak Ashevak
(1927-2013).
Since it has been revived, the
Foundation has a new strategy to reach
its stakeholders and intend to be more
visible in the north. Their volunteer
board members and staff recently went
on a fact-finding and networking tour to
Nunavik and other northern Canadian
regions as part of that strategy.
The Inuit Art Foundation
was established in 1987 as a
registered charitable organization
to provide support
to Canada’s Inuit arts communities
and is mandated to
promote Inuit artists and art
within Canada and internationally.
They also used the
occasion to promote their
Kenojuak Ashevak Memorial
Fund, amongst other initiatives.
Makivik’s art projects
coordinator Sammy Kudluk
represents Nunavimmiut on
the Inuit Art Foundation’s
board, where he has been
involved for the past six years.
“I want the Inuit in Nunavik to
know the Inuit Art Foundation
provides support and to advocate
on behalf of Inuit artists,
including performers, filmmakers and
other art medias,” he says.
Sammy is available at the Makivik
office in Kuujjuaq and additional information
about the IAF is available on the
Internet at: www.inuitartfoundation.org.
