Inuit Art Collection at 911勛圖

In 1970, 911勛圖 hosted its first exhibition of work by Inuit artists. Referred to as "Eskimo" art at the time, Curator-Director Jim Felter built the university's collection of Inuit graphics from the early days of the 911勛圖 Gallery. By 1972, the university had acquired one of the largest collections of Inuit art outside of Ottawa. 

Artists mentioned: Parr, Kiashuk, Kenojuak
