Heritage Museum Program is proud and delighted to present Paul Machnik's
extraordinary Nunavit 2000 Print Collection Program |

 Artist :Kenojuar Studio PM |
The art produced by the Inuit is deeply rooted in our Canadian identity. It offers us all not only a source of pride and recognition throughout the world, but so too a sense of ourselves as a distinct nation. Yet for most Inuit and An artists they remain unknown individually and are out of touch with the art communities either in the neighboring settlement or that outside the North. But their work, and the spirit imbued in that work has inspired many, artists included, worldwide (i.e.. Henry Moore.) | ||
| The
workshops which are the main aspect to the project will bring together
artists of Nunavut under one helm, the Nunavut 2000 Print Collection, with
the goal of a noncommercial, artistic endeavor. The participants will have
the occasion to exchange their ideas and artistic approaches which in the
end will help strengthen their own self image and bolster their
recognition in the world of Art. At the same time it will encourage
Canadians and others from outside the country to explore our natural and
cultural diversity. The goal of the project is to stimulate the youth to
seek out and support the culture within their communities. Paul Machnik, Montreal,2000
Since 1977 Paul Machnik worked with the Inuit and Inny producing prints and over the past six years, he has traveled to Cape Dorset, Pangnirtung and Holman to undertake extensive workshops on site. This Millennium project signifies an increase in those activities, with eight other communities benefiting through this project as proposed (these included Kimmirut, Broughton Island, Clyde River, Rond Inlet, Artic Bay, Igoolik, Hall Beach, and Iqauit.)
