1991:
The IAF founds the Inuit Artists’ College, a “college without walls”, providing training and capacitybuilding opportunities to Inuit. Its inaugural workshop is offered in partnership with the Ottawa School of Art. Led by Abraham Anghik Ruben and Ronald Senungetuk, participants Mattiusi Iyaituk, Charlie Kogvik, Eli Merkuratsuk, Uriash Puqiqnak, Toonoo Sharky, Nick Sikkuark, and Joseph Suqsluk learn sculpting techniques and tour local museums.
