[BCMA] Final Week: Inuit Prints: Japanese Inspiration

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

FINAL WEEK!

Inuit Prints: Japanese Inspiration
October 11 -- December 3, 2011
This exhibition features exquisite and extraordinarily rare prints from 
Japan and Cape Dorset, Nunavut, from the late 1950s and early 1960s. It 
also tells the little-known story of how, fifty years ago, the Canadian 
artist and "discoverer" of Inuit art, James Houston, travelled to Japan 
to study printmaking with Un'ichi Hiratsuka. Exhibition organized by the 
Canadian Museum of Civilization with the assistance of the West Baffin 
Eskimo Co-operative in Cape Dorset.

Taiga Chiba's Arctic Experiences exhibit will continue until January 7, 
2012.
