Spirit of the North
Indigenous Culture & Art in Winnipeg
September 24 – 28, 2026
In honor of The Dennos Museum Center’s 35th anniversary and in recognition of our world-class Inuit art collection, please join us from September 24 to 28, 2026, for a cultural journey to Winnipeg, Canada. View the full itinerary and brochure here.
This is a special opportunity to discover one of Canada’s most significant arts and culture communities alongside Dennos staff and museum members. As a museum holding one of the largest and most historically complete collections of Inuit art in the United States, we have a deep connection to the art of the Canadian North. This trip allows us to explore that connection in a new way, standing before the world’s largest public collection of contemporary Inuit art at WAG-Qaumajuq, where over 14,000 works are housed in a luminous three-story glass “Visible Vault” that places the collection at the heart of the building.
Behind-the-scenes access defines this program. We’ll enter the Manitoba Museum’s vaults, which are not usually open to the public, with a curator explaining the museum’s repatriation policy and work with Indigenous communities. We’ll meet local artists and attend a hands-on storytelling and art workshop, allowing you to create your own artwork to take home.
Our exploration extends to traditional meeting grounds at The Forks, a site used by Indigenous peoples for 6,000 years. We’ll cross into St. Boniface, Winnipeg’s French Quarter, to learn about the Métis people—descendants of European fur traders and Indigenous women who developed a distinct culture and identity.
At the Canadian Museum for Human Rights, we’ll explore its displays charting how Indigenous communities continue to strive for human rights. This journey connects the timeless spirit of the North to the dynamic soul of a modern city.
