| "The 2009 edition of the Cape Dorset calendar celebrates 50 years of printmaking at the Kinngait Studios. Cape Dorset, also known as Kinngait for its high, rolling hills, is a thriving Inuit community on the southwest coast of Baffin Island in the Canadian Arctic territory of Nunavut. The West Baffin Eskimo Co-operative was formed and incorporated there in 1959. The Kinngait Studios, which house the cop-operative's graphics arts program, are the longest continually running print studios in Canada. The studios are internationally renowned for their excellence and innovation in Inuit graphic art." Dorset Fine Arts |
