Inuit Premiere

Sivertson Gallery will kick off a monumental year with its 15th annual Inuit Premiere with events on Friday, March 20 and Saturday, March 21. This will be Sivertson’s 35th year celebrating “Art of the North” in Grand Marais, and its 20th year in Duluth (Siiviis). Sivertson’s is featuring a presentation by Kate Vasyliw of Dorset Fine Arts and live Canadian Throat-Singer performances can enjoyed while at the art premiere. The weekend events at Sivertson Gallery are free and open to the public.

Sivertson’s annual Inuit Premiere is the only one of its kind in the lower 48 United States featuring original Canadian Inuit prints, soapstone carvings and Native Alaskan sculptures formed from walrus tusk, whale bone, whale baleen and soapstone. The gallery also offers a wide variety of unique fossilized woolly mammoth molar and tusk jewelry. The woolly mammoth has been extinct for more than 4,000 years.
