On Now: Six Decades of Drawing (Online)

Feheley Fine Arts is presenting Six Decades of Drawing online now through March 29. The works include some of the earliest drawings made in Kinngait, as well as a selection that spans the decades between then and the present. It includes both work by unknown artists along with drawings by some of the most famous names in Inuit Art past and present.

As usual with Feheley’s online exhibits, this one includes information on the development of drawing at Kinngait and changes over time in the materials used, themes, and in the artists themselves.
