Caribou antlers are a source of inspiration for Inuit artists across the Canadian Arctic. Working within the constraints of antler's forms, they create a variety of fanciful creatures, exuberant dancers, and ethereal figures. This exhibibition highlights the ingenuity and vision of artists such as Luke Anowtalik, Luke Iksiktaaryuk, and Thomas Suvaaraq.
