We are proud to host a special series of podcasts highlighting the ICC Inuit Artist of the Month. On the first Thursday of every month in 2023 we’ll hear from one of the 12 artists. Thanks to funding by the Department of Canadian Heritage – Indigenous Language Component, each artist is provided a bursary to further their art.
In this episode, host Madeleine Allakariallak speaks with Brian Kowikchuk, who is from Inuvik in the Inuvialuit Settlement Region, Northwest Territories, Canada.
He is a painter, working in charcoal, oil paints, acrylics, watercolour, and digital apps. As an art teacher, he shares his talents at The Art Hub in Inuvik. He says art can be used as a tool for mental health.
