The Indigenous Art Collection

The Indigenous Art Collection, cared for by Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs Canada, and located at 10 Wellington, Gatineau, Quebec, is one of the most important collections of contemporary Indigenous art in Canada. Comprising over 4,300 artworks by both prominent and emerging artists, it showcases First Nations, Inuit, and Métis expressions of their histories, cultures, and realities, both past and present.

Created to celebrate the Art Centre’s 50th anniversary, this stunning volume and first major monograph published by the Government of Canada about the collection, highlights the richness and the importance of Indigenous cultures and heritage as an essential part of Canadian culture.
