A dancing walrus from Cape Dorset
This dancing walrus by Matthew Oshutsiaq from Cape Dorset was one of the carvings up for sale at Makigiarvik Correctional Centre in Iqaluit on July 12. Oshutisaq is one of many inmates who take part in Makigiarvik’s carving program. The centre holds a craft sale every Friday from 1 to 4 p.m. where its inmates’ artwork, along with work from the Nunavut Women’s Correctional Centre, is displayed in a glass case and available for purchase. The artists keep 80 per cent of the profits, while 20 per cent is put back into the program to buy soapstone and other materials. (Photo by Emma Tranter)
