Uqqurmiut Centre for Arts and Crafts

Pangnirtung arts centre with a print shop, tapestry studio, craft gallery, and internationally collected Inuit work.

Uqqurmiut Centre for Arts and Crafts is the cultural anchor in Pangnirtung. It brings together the print shop, tapestry studio, craft gallery, and working artists who have made the hamlet known far beyond Baffin Island.

This is the place to buy art if you can, but it is also worth visiting just to understand Pang as more than a park gateway. Check opening hours locally; in a small Arctic community, schedules can bend around weather, freight, and daily life.

A story
Pangnirtung's textile work grew from a government-supported weaving studio in the 1970s into one of the Arctic's most recognizable art programs. The famous Pang hats are the easy souvenir, but the tapestries and prints are the deeper reason collectors know the town.
