TICKETS

Tickets are $40. At checkout you can add a sponsored community ticket — $20 helps an Inuit community member who'd otherwise be priced out get in the door. Add one or more and you're entered in a draw for a pair of hand-sewn sealskin mitts.

LINEUP Nuunu is one of the most promising new voices on the Greenlandic scene, Nuunu writes honest, guitar-led songs about loving, losing and being young. Her debut single “Shy Lover,” recorded with Laakkuluk Williamson, arrived this summer and she's already played Arctic Sounds, Riddu Riđđu and Nuuk Nordisk.

Aursaarsuq, Siksik Sammurtok-Lavallee is an Inuk woman from the Kivalliq region of Nunavut. She has been focusing her reclamation on her ancestor’s practice in Inuit Spirituality, learning from her Ataata, who was taught by his Father. She'll be opening the night with a ceremony to welcome artists and guests alike to the space.

More artists to be announced.

This event is made possible with the support of Ottawa Tourism, Canada Council for the Arts, Inuit Art Foundation and the Ontario Arts Council.
