$1,000 airfare + $3.14/kg

Howdy!

An interesting article in yesterday's Boston Globe on how things work in Cape Dorset. Basically, the sculptor makes 25% of the price you pay for a soap stone sculpture. There also is this article from earlier in the summer in the Globe & Mail that has some different facts, but is remarkably similar.

If you don't feel like spending that sort of cash, or prefer to see a larger percentage of the money going to the artists, there's always, the ItuKiagâtta! and the Robert Davidson, and the Brian Jungen exhibits.
