You are invited to attend Andrew Qappik's solo exhibition at the
Winnipeg Art Gallery!
Some of you were lucky enough to travel
with Andrew on 2009's Into the Northwest Passage Expedition.
Andrew's
works have been included in every Pangnirtung print
collection, and he is well-known throughout the North for his design of
the Nunavut flag and the territory's coat-of-arms and official logo.
This
exhibiton marks the donation to the Gallery of a complete
collection of 140 of Qappik's catalogued and uncatalogued ("personal")
prints by Dr. H.G. Jones, a past traveller and long-time friend of
Adventure Canada.
It's an important first
solo exhibition for this respected artist, and features a selection of
limited-edition prints spanning his graphic career. It is another in a
series of WAG exhibitions of second- and third-generation Inuit artists
who are expressing personal and contemporary concerns.
Exhibition
sponsored by The Dorothy Strelsin Foundation and FirstAir. For
