Inuit Art Foundation

The Inuit Art Foundation is dedicated to supporting Inuit artists. Its programs and programming are  developed in response to community needs. Program development is always led by Inuit feedback and guided by Inuit knowledge. The IAF embraces diversity and innovation, creating new paths to sustainable support that are transformational for Inuit artists and their art.

The Inuit Art Foundation (IAF) is the only national organization dedicated to supporting Inuit artists working in all media and geographic areas. Founded over 31 years ago, the IAF has sought to empower and support Inuit artists' self-expression and self-determination while increasing public access to and awareness of their work.

Its flagship program, the award-winning Inuit Art Quarterly (IAQ), is the only publication dedicated to the advancement and appreciation of Inuit and circumpolar Indigenous arts. The IAF also manages the Igloo Tag Trademark, the Kenojuak Ashevak Memorial Award, and the Watt Scholarship — and has been led by Inuit, who have filled the majority of its Board positions since 1994.
