There are many mail-order catalogues and many e-commerce websites, but we feel ours are unique. What makes us special is that “we make what we sell.” Our crafts are made right in the community of Pangnirtung. As well, because the Uqqurmiut have ownership and control of the Centre for Arts & Crafts in Pangnirtung, we are able to benefit directly. The company which has put together this website to tell you about Pangnirtung’s fine arts and fine crafts is controlled by the artists themselves – the Uqqurmiut Inuit Artists Association.

Buying from us is like buying directly from an Inuit artist. This has advantages for everyone. For you, our valued customer, there is the opportunity to deal directly with Inuit artists whose work often is “discovered” only by those who are able to visit the Arctic. For us, the advantage is getting to know you directly, to learn about who buys our arts and crafts, and why, and about how we can be more successful in the future.

If there is something you’re looking for that you can’t find here on our website, drop us a line (e-mail us) and let us know – perhaps we can help you locate its source. Please note that we can also fulfill special orders. So please send us your comments, craft ideas and suggestions – and, of course, your orders for Pangnirtung arts and crafts!
