The 27th edition of Art Toronto runs this year from October 29 to November 1 at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre in Toronto, ON, located in the downtown core. Over 100 exhibitors are participating this year, and the opening night gala will once again be hosted by the McMichael Canadian Art Collection, the only museum in Canada dedicated to showcasing exclusively Canadian art.
Fair programming includes several panels, curator conversations, tours, and a series of installations throughout the fair that consider “the interconnectedness of nature and art and the ways artists respond to landscape, transformation and human intervention,” per the curatorial team. Among the selected featured artworks is Danish Shaman (2026) by Abraham Anghik Ruben, OC, brought by Nōma Gallery, which will be on view near the entrance of the fair.
Beyond the Anghik Ruben feature, several galleries are also bringing Inuit art to their individual booths. We’ve compiled a list of the booths where you will find works by Inuit artists this year.

Feheley Fine Arts
Located in downtown Toronto, Feheley Fine Arts will be at Art Toronto this year with a selection of pieces by several Inuit artists, including Qavavau Manumie; Ningiukulu Teevee; Shuvinai Ashoona, RCA; Saimaiyu Akesuk; and more. Feheley will also be bringing new artwork by Inuvialuk visual artist and curator Darcie Bernhardt and Nunatsiavummiuk painter, printmaker, and textile artist Jessica Winters.
The bright paintings by Bernhardt are from their 2026 solo exhibition From the Peel to the Arctic Ocean at Feheley, which was inspired by their travels to Fort McPherson, NT, along the Peel river to the coastline of Tuktoyaktuk, Inuvialuit Settlement Region, NT. These paintings are snapshots of daily life that celebrate the light in springtime and late sunsets in fall, highlighting details of interiors.
Annie Pootoogook Untitled (footprints) (c. 2003) Coloured pencil and ink 50.8 x 66.04 cm COURTESY CAVIAR20 © THE ARTIST
Caviar20
Caviar20, also located in Toronto, will be bringing the drawing Untitled (footprints) (c. 2003) by Annie Pootoogook (1969–2016). Like much of Pootoogook’s work, this drawing depicts a moment in contemporary Inuit life. Other notable tropes in her work included gender roles and life in Kinngait, NU, and the impact of technology and consumerism on her community. Throughout her career, Pootoogook received many awards and honours, and her work is in a number of permanent collections, including at the National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa, ON, and the Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto. In 2006 she became the first Inuk artist to win the Sobey Art Award.
Ooloosie Saila Untitled (2018) Pencil, ink, and coloured pencil 58.42 x 76.2 cm COURTESY GALERIE C.O.A. © THE ARTIST
Galerie C.O.A.
From Montreal, QC, Galerie C.O.A. will present works by graphic artist Ooloosie Saila and sculptor and graphic artist Pitseolak Qimirpik. Saila’s drawings are colourful and detailed, depicting lively scenes of movement and texture. In 2017, for the first time, her work was translated into a print for the Dorset Fine Arts Annual Print collection. Though he is best known for his detailed sculptures of animals and contemporary life, Qimirpik expanded his practice to brightly coloured drawing in 2021.
Kablusiak White Ram 1500 (Big White Truck) (2026) Steatite and oil 31.75 x 14.61 x 14.61 cm COURTESY NORBERG HALL © THE ARTIST
Norberg Hall
Norberg Hall, based in Calgary, AB, will be bringing artwork from multidisciplinary artist Kablusiak and a collaborative work by Laakkuluk Williamson and Nils Ailo. Kablusiak was the winner of the 2023 Sobey Art Award, and their work tends to examine connection and disconnection in Inuit Nunangat, colonization, expressions of gender and sexuality, and humour. Norberg Hall will be bringing soft sculpture Pierrot Ukpik (2026) and Hut Wheels and White Ram 1500 (Big White Truck) (2026), a series of five steatite sculptures of different vehicles Kablusiak’s family owned when they were growing up. “Through this series, I explore the dialogue between ancestral material and contemporary objects in order to examine the links between tradition and modernity, as well as how a utilitarian object can become a vessel of memory, desire, and identity,” Kablusiak says in their artist statement. Alongside these Kablusiak pieces will be Nuliaminik Neqilik II (The Flesh of Wives) (2026), a series of photographs by Laakkuluk Williamson and Nils Ailo that examine international conversations around Inuit identity and repatriation, as well as Indigenous agency.
Abraham Anghik Ruben Danish Shaman: Through the Mist of Time (2013) Steatite 274.32 x 116.84 x 182.88 cm COURTESY NŌMA GALLERY © THE ARTIST
Nōma Gallery
Beyond the large-scale Abraham Anghik Ruben sculpture in Art Toronto’s common space, Nōma Gallery, based in Collingwood, ON, will be bringing eight additional works by Anghik Ruben. Anghik Ruben is known for his stone sculpture, although his solo exhibition Abraham Anghik Ruben—curated by Heather Campbell and on view at the Winnipeg Art Gallery-Qaumajuq until March 2027—includes paintings and other works created between 1975 and 2025. Anghik Ruben will be at the gallery booth on Saturday and Sunday, so be sure to swing by to meet the artist himself!
