The Inuit Art Foundation recognizes the many barriers Inuit Artists face when trying to grow their art career. We’ve launched this Portal to try and make it easier for artists to access and understand resources that are available.

• Low Bandwidth - If you’re in the North, where the internet can be unreliable, this Portal functions in low bandwidth, and videos have transcripts and accompanying articles with them.
• Funding - We also have first hand experience the impact that funding has on an artists’ career, and how overwhelming and confusing it can be to apply! We have gone through the many grants available to artists all over Canada, and filtered them in an easy to access way. Many artists have told us how they were unaware of the grants available to them. We have about 200 grants on this Portal from multiple funding bodies. Log in and check out everything available to you!
• Workshops - DQAP is a cup brimming to the rim with dedicated resources for Inuit artists. Dedicated workshop series to career development, (such as the Ilisarniq series with Inuit Futures) material and skill learning (De-ICE-Olation series with Inuit Futures), and in depth conversations between artists across the circumpolar North (Conversations series with the Smithsonian) can all be found in one easy place in DQAP. Each event has its own dedicated page where members can view the workshop/event itself, transcripts of the video and additional related materials and articles.
• Professional Opportunities - Maybe you’re not looking for funding, but professional opportunities. Our rolling blog, updated every two weeks, will show relevant opportunities such as Job Postings, Residencies, Calls for Submissions, and Commissions.
