The North West Company, (TNWC), and its predecessor The
Northern Stores Division of the Hudson's Bay Company, have
been purchasing Inuit sculpture directly from artists in their
home communities in the Canadian Arctic for over 50 years.
Inuit Art Marketing, a division of The North West Company, is
located in Toronto and provides wholesale services to Inuit
Art Galleries throughout North America and Europe and is the
largest wholesaler of Inuit sculpture anywhere in the world.
Together with our partnering Galleries we offer the largest
and most diverse range of Communities
|
and Artists across the vast Canadian Arctic from
Tuktoyaktuk on the Western shores of the
Beaufort Sea to Nain on the Eastern shores of the Labrador Sea and
all regions between. Typically our Toronto showroom would showcase
up to 25,000 carvings ranging in price from $50 to prices in
excess of $50,000.
Through TNWC's chain of retail stores located in Canada's far
North, Inuit Art Marketing working with and through local store
staff, purchase carvings directly from the Artists in their home
communities for cash. By doing so millions of dollars in
disposable income are injected into the collective economy of the
North adding to the overall larger contribution of wages and
benefits, TNWC being the largest employer of indigenous peoples in
Canada. We are justifiably proud of our historical heritage and
association with both Artists and Communities and in our role as
the conduit to market for highly prized quality carvings created
by so many talented artists in the world of "Inuit Sculpture".
Our Toronto showroom is conveniently located within five minutes of Pearson
International Airport on the corner of Skyway Avenue and Dixon and is easily
accessible with no charge parking for our customers. Retailers interested in
representing the art can book an appointment to visit our facility, or
obtain further information on our company and products, by contacting us
through any of the media addresses noted.
