2024 Cape Dorset Inuit Art Calendar

Annually, Dorset Fine Arts (a division of the West Baffin Eskimo Co-operative) produces a calendar to celebrate and feature prints from the artists who have worked in the Kinngait Studios. For the 2024 calendar, the selected artists represent works created using the stone cut method.

Established in 1959, West Baffin Eskimo Co-operative has enjoyed an international reputation for producing renowned prints, drawings and carvings. The Kinngait Studios in Cape Dorset provides the artists in the co-operative with a state-of-the-art print facility. The studios have the strongest and longest tradition of any community-run, art making co-operative in the Arctic. Due to the stability and longevity of the Co-op’s management, four generations of Inuit artists have developed and sold their art around the world. Today, the Kinngait Studios remain the longest continuous running print studio in Canada.
