Photo: Art community says goodbye to Tim Pitsiulak

Cape Dorset artist Tim Pitsiulak, front and centre, poses with artists at Toronto’s Open Studio in April 2016, where he did a two-week creative residency. The arts community both North and South is mourning the loss of Pitsiulak, who died from complications from pneumonia on Dec. 23 in his home community of Cape Dorset. “He was always learning and watching and pushing,” said Open Studio’s Anna Gaby-Trotz, who worked alongside Pitsiulak in both Toronto and Cape Dorset.
