The Inuit of Nunavut have long been associated with soapstone carvings, although the people are adept at many other forms of art; print making and woven wall hangings, caribou antler jewellery, replicas of tools out of skin or stone from a more traditional time.

The skills of the past have been transformed into the business of the future, with large facilities for the development of new skills and use of new mediums - oil paintings, fur dolls, fashion clothing with northern flair and silver jewellery.

Summer courses in Quivviuq weaving, photography and water colour painting are offered in beautiful outdoor classrooms with world renowned instructors.
