Cruise ships highlight need for arts and crafts shop

Qikiqtarjuaq/Broughton Island

The season for cruise ships coming into Qikiqtarjuaq is drawing to an end, according to Morris Kuniliusie, the hamlet's economic development officer.

Kuniliusie said the visitors are offered tours around the hamlet, and residents perform throatsinging and hip-hop dancing demonstrations.

He added it would help bring more money into the hamlet if there were an arts and crafts centre, but Qikiqtarjuaq has no such venue to sell items of that sort.

Art demonstrations continue

Iqaluit

The Inuit Art Experience art demonstrations continue this month at the Unikkaarvik Visitor's Centre in Iqaluit.

Art enthusiasts can see artists in action from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. on Wednesdays , and again from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. on Saturdays.

Exhibit showcases explorer Amundsen

Uqsuqtuuq/Gjoa Haven

Gjoa Haven will present an exhibit of canvas prints depicting the life of Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen and his visit to the community in search of the Northwest Passage.

More than a century ago, Amundsen became the first to successfully travel the passage. The exhibit was made possible through a partnership with the Fram Museum in Oslo, Norway, which donated the prints. The 50 pieces will be exhibited in the new community hall once its construction is completed in late September of early October, said Gjoa Haven mayor Joanni Sallerina.

"We are very excited," he said, adding some elders had the opportunity to look at the pictures. "They managed to name a few people from the pictures."
