ABOUT EVENT:
After years of planning, Qaumajuq, formerly the Inuit art centre, will be launched in early 2021.
Join us for this behind-the scenes look at the new building, the art and the partners. Find out what Qaumajuq will means for our city and our province, and how all businesses can use Qaumajuq to forward their goals. This is an interactive panel discussion, so please bring your questions.
Qaumajuq is the first of its kind in the world – a unique sharing space where Inuit voices are front and centre in sharing their creativity. Artists, Inuit, various partners and community leaders have collaborated to envision and create a vibrant gathering place where all are welcome and where everyone’s stories are told and heard in a true spirit of reconciliation.
