Inuit Studies Conference Re-Scheduled for June

Our big session that was planned for the Inuit Studies Conference has been moved to June 19-22.

Winnipeg Art Gallery

We will be meeting at the Niizhwaaso Collaborative Learning Centre. While there we will be able to tour INUA, which is premiering for the opening exhibition of Qaumajuq, the new Inuit Art Centre. It’s an amazing space to behold, and we have not been able to go in and do group activities since it opened. This is one of our biggest workshops we will have this season, and we’re really excited to finally be able to have everyone come together.

Canada Council for the Arts Artists Profile Writing Workshop

This experimental pilot program was made possible with financial investment from the following organizations and we gratefully acknowledge their encouragement and support.
