Exhibition: Sculpture by Maudie Okittuq
Alongside new drawings by Shuvinai Ashoona, we are thrilled to present work by another cutting-edge woman artist, Maudie Okittuq. Based in Talurjuaq (Taloyoak), Okittuq began carving in the late-1960s and has enjoyed an over fifty-year-long artistic career creating remarkable sculpture primarily out of stone. The transformations, shamans, and spirit figures in this delightful selection of work highlights not only Okittuq’s extraordinarily unique vision, but also her exceptional ability to translate the spirit world into stone.

Alongside Maudie Okittuq’s fantastical sculptures, we are pleased to introduce a new series of wall-hangings by textile artist, Annie Taipana. Taipana’s distinctive wall-hangings are defined by whirlwind compositions of arctic animals, executed in brightly coloured applique and intricately layered stitchwork. Originally from Qamani’tuaq, Taipana now resides in Rankin Inlet where she continues her artistic practice.

Exhibition: Life by the River – William Noah (1943-2020)
Graphic artist William Noah led a prolific art career that lasted nearly five decades. Working in the media of acrylic paint and coloured pencil, Noah was best-known for depicting scenes of his community of Qamani’tuaq. Today, in addition to his renown as an artist, Noah’s legacy lives on as a prominent member of his community. This retrospective exhibition is the first since Noah’s passing in 2020, and will feature a selection of never-before-seen works by the artist.

Uqsuqtuuq, the Inuktitut name for Gjoa Haven, loosely means “plenty of blubber,” referring the many sea mammals that are local to the area. The community is also abundant in its artistic creativity. Uqsuqtuuq sculptures have always been renowned for their spiritual energy, characterized by eccentric facial expressions and exaggerated forms seen in depictions of shamans, hunters, and animals. Land of Plenty: Gjoa Haven Sculpture brings together a number of contemporary works that carry on the powerful tradition of the Uqsuqtuuq…

Exhibition: Darcie Bernhardt – Akisuktuaq
We are pleased to present Darcie Bernhardt’s first solo exhibition: Darcie Bernhardt – Akisuktuaq. Bernhardt’s paintings draw on the theme of intergenerational memory, engaging the perspectives of her grandmother, mother, and herself.
