In August 2026, I will be hosting a group on an Adventure Canada small-vessel cruise, “Heart of the Arctic”, which includes a visit to Cape Dorset to experience the world-renowned Kenojuak Cultural Centre and Print Gallery and meet many of the local print-makers and stone carvers. So much of an artists’ personality is communicated through their art, but I cannot tell you how excited I will be to meet Inuit carvers and print-makers in-person!
