Although Ukpik Inuit Art gallery is just an infant (opened January 2014) the owners Pierre Stevens and Mandy Kay-Raining Bird have not only a long history of collecting Inuit Art, but have also been active for the last 30 years or more of operating a “by appointment only” gallery. Their mission is to provide the general public with an opportunity to explore Inuit Art, and to create a venue for connoisseurs or newcomers alike, to purchase Inuit Art at reasonable prices.
