The Inuit Art Foundation may soon be back on its feet, says a report in Canada’s Nunatsiaq News.

Earlier this year, the closure of the Inuit Art Foundation and its magazine Inuit Art Quarterly stunned Inuit art fans around the world.

But now it appears that both the foundation and the magazine will be getting a second wind. A new board is in place and plans are in the works to revive the magazine.
