Why Art Histories?...

In fulfilment of its mandate to educate and promote, the Inuit Art Foundation is capitalizing on the ability of the Internet to reach a wider audience.

There has long been a need for “generic” Inuit art exhibitions to educate the world about Inuit art and to document the art for succeeding generations of Inuit. Inuit Art Histories will be of interest to Inuit, particularly those living in the North, and to southern researchers, art dealers, and collectors.
