About the event
A Collection Built on Relationships: Inuit Art from the Art Gallery of Northumberland’s Permanent Collection at the Kawartha Lakes Museum & Archives, in Lindsay, ON.
Opening Reception: April 30, at 6:00 p.m. This is a travelling exhibition, currently at Kawartha Museum and Archives until October 31, 2026
In 1976, the AGN, then the Art Gallery of Cobourg, received a gift of approximately sixty Inuit carvings, sculptures, and materials collected from 1900 to 1970. These works offer a glimpse into the artistic expressions and lived experiences of the Inuit during a period of rapid cultural change.
The collection, sourced from communities across the Inuit Nunangat (Inuit Homeland), are presented alongside a map reflecting the Inuit-Crown land treaties, using their original Inuktut place names as part of the ongoing process of decolonization.
This exhibition honours not only the artistic legacy of the Inuit but also the resilience of their culture.
