Art in the Park: Ivvavik 2012
Art in the Park: Ivvavik is a unique artist-in-residence program hosted by Parks Canada in Ivvavik National Park on the Yukon North Slope. Artists fly in to a remote base camp nestled in the British Mountains, to be inspired by an ancient and rugged arctic landscape. People have travelled in this part of the Inuvialuit Settlement Region for at least 8,000 years. Their voices echo in the landscape and the stories of their descendents.
Mountain views and incredible wildlife will awaken your creativity – on the sundeck at Sheep Creek, on short walks near Base Camp, or on longer guided hikes under the rich orange glow of the midnight sun. The Base Camp provides a comfortable and safe back country experience. Air transportation to Ivvavik National Park and food in the park is provided.
Art in the Park: Ivvavik is open to professional and aspiring artists. Beneficiaries of the Inuvialuit Final Agreement are encouraged to apply.
