Cape Dorset Inuit Art

Art Galleries (Commercial)

Description

Cape Dorset Inuit Art offers rare, one-of-a-kind, hand-crafted Inuit art. Our selections include works by master Inuit carvers, emerging talent and younger Inuit artists. We purchase the Inuit sculptures directly from the carvers in the community of Cape Dorset, Nunavut, the capital of Inuit Art. Cape Dorset is changing it’s name to the Inuktitut name Kinngait which means mountains. We are a family run business based out of Kinngait. Each Inuit carving comes with the Igloo tag which certifies the carving’s authenticity and that it was handmade by an Inuk artist in Kinngait. Cape Dorset Inuit Art gallery is located in Kinngait, Nunavut, Canada. To view any of the Inuit carvings in person one can visit our gallery located in Dorset Suites, www.dorsetsuites.com. We are proud members of the Kinngait community, and we would be happy to provide a full Inuit art experience. Huit Huit Tours has an Inuit Art and Cultural Tour available: www.capedorsettours.com/guidedtrips/artculture.html. The airlines that serve the Eastern Arctic and Nunavut are: Canadian North, www.canadiannorth.com, and First Air, www.firstair.ca.
