Saliqmiut: Tuktuuyaqtuuq Centre for Arts and Culture.

We’re sharing the story of Saliqmiut with the world.

Nestled on the shores of the Arctic ocean, Saliqmiut will be the only Canadian western arctic centre for excellence in visual and performing arts.

Saliqmiut will provide the requisite workshops, museum space, archives, collections storage, co-working space and administrative space to support and grow the community’s capacity and ensure that important traditional knowledge is not only perpetuated, but also brought forward in contemporary art forms and vocational applications that will bolster and grow the community’s economic opportunities.

Here we will cradle the spirit and strength of our coastal people. Here, we will provide a beacon of leadership, weaving together past and present, the Elders and the young, the traditional and the contemporary.

Saliqmiut: Tuktuuyaqtuuq Centre for Arts and Culture – we are dreaming of creating a gathering place so profoundly beautiful that it is inspiration, itself.
