The Gallery
Feheley Fine Arts is synonymous with excellence in the field of Inuit art. With over 60 years of experience, the gallery is now situated in the historic St. Lawrence Market area of downtown Toronto. It is one of the last remaining commercial galleries in the world devoted exclusively to traditional and contemporary art from the Canadian Arctic. Its collections range from exquisite small sculptures dating from the mid-twentieth century to paintings and drawings by today’s sought after contemporary artists.
Spanning two generations, Feheley Fine Arts has been instrumental in the development of numerous private, public and corporate collections. Each year, through group and solo exhibitions, Feheley Fine Arts showcases the enormous talent of Inuit artists. The gallery also offers a range of consultation and curatorial services, including art appraisal, collection management, research, and display and exhibition advice. Feheley Fine Arts is a member of the Art Dealers Association of Canada (ADAC).

Our History
Budd frequently travelled to the Arctic to experience the Canadian North and, more importantly, to meet the artists. In the early 1960s, he oversaw the formation of the Inuit Art Collection of the Toronto Dominion Bank, now the finest corporate collection of Inuit Art. He also served on the inaugural “Eskimo Arts Council”, an early governmental advisory board for Inuit Art. Throughout this period, Budd was unfailing in his recognition of the superb quality and vitality of Inuit art and took a crucial role in its development.
