Kenojuak Cultural Centre

With an overall area of 10,440 square feet, and adhering to the high standards demanded by the rigors of the Canadian Arctic, the facility contains a number of functional areas. A community hub and gathering space: The Centre provides a dedicated 400 square-foot space specifically for the Elders and other community groups in Cape Dorset. This multi-functional meeting space provides a quiet, comfortable space the Elders can use, but which can also be the site of small to medium-sized formal meetings. Facilities to celebrate the art of the North: As a fully integrated cultural and artistic hub, the Centre hosts lectures, workshops, and training sessions for artists and artisans from across the region. This space also showcases historical and contemporary Inuit art, helping to inspire the next generation of artists and sculptors and to share the body of work with visitors from around the world. A reliable, robust physical Infrastructure for Printmaking: The new Centre features a well-engineered physical plant with proper climate control, power, lighting, and working space to maintain the extraordinary standards of printmaking that are the hallmark of the Cape Dorset enterprise. Including: Specialized equipment that brings a variety of technical processes related to lithography and printing together into one far more efficient physical space, including specialized ventilation that controls fumes emanating from the printmaking process
