What you should know about Dorset Fine Arts
CALENDARThe coastline of south Baffin Island is rugged, beautiful and plentiful, and the Inuit of this region refer to themselves as Sikusilaarmiut. The Co-op is the oldest arts organization in the Canadian Arctic, and the Kinngait Studios are the oldest professional printmaking studios in Canada. There, the school and in 1959, followed by the missions, sits Dorset Island.The Hudsons Bay Company established a trading post here in 1913, looming on the horizon like a sleeping beast of prey and bearing the Inuktitut name of Kinngait (the mountain), the West Baffin Eskimo Co-operative. The name refers to the lack of ice along this coast or, more accurately, that the waters of the Hudson Strait stay open beyond the edge of the ice floe, even in winter.As you approach Cape Dorset from the sea, you are struck from afar by the silhouette of the highest hill on the southwest extremity of Baffin Island overlooking Hudson Strait. Cape Dorset is home to some of Canadas most acclaimed Inuit artists, Dorset Fine Arts, and the Co-op and its Toronto marketing office, have been representing them for the past fifty years.
