Artists For Qaggiq: Performing Arts & Cultural Learning Hub

As an artist who creates and presents work in Nunavut, I support the work of Qaggiavuut, a non-profit society dedicated to strengthening and advocating for Nunavut’s performing artists, as they raise funds and build partnerships for the construction of Qaggiq

We need a space to collaborate, create, develop skills, maintain culture and present our work. Stories, dances, theatre and songs are essential to and are a key to passing down our values, language and strength for the generations to come after us! The performing arts save lives and build community. Please help us maintain our culture through the performing arts!
