The Nunavik Arts Secretariat
Aumaaggiivik
Aumaaggiivik, the Nunavik Arts Secretariat, takes its name from an Inuktitut word meaning “the place where sparks are born.” Aumaaggiivik supports artists working across all disciplines (visual arts, music, media arts, literature, crafts, etc.) through three main areas.
The Aumaaggiivik team invites artists with projects to reach out to us so we can support them on the path to success.
