The Eiteljorg Museum recently opened their new exhibit Voices from the Arctic: Contemporary Inuit Art, with over 80 prints, sculptures, and more created between the 1960s and today.
“Through this collection, visitors will experience the evolution of Inuit art, from traditional depictions of hunting, dogsledding, and spiritual narratives to contemporary reflections on technology, changing lifestyles, and the pressing impacts of climate change. These works not only celebrate the ingenuity and resilience of Inuit artists but also shed light on their intimate connection to the land and their role as witnesses to the dramatic environmental changes affecting not only the Arctic, but the world.”
As part of the exhibit opening, long-time Inuit Art Society board member Lou Jungheim gave a presentation on the development of Inuit art, including stories about a few key artists and his own experiences.
Voices from the Arctic will be on display through March 2026. About halfway through the show some of the items currently on display will be replaced with different ones. So, you might want to plan two visits: Now and then again later this year or early next year!
Watch for more about this exhibit on our website too, as the Inuit Art Society is now planning to meet at the Eiteljorg later this year. We’d love to have you join us!
