For 13 years, Beth McKenty lived and worked with the Inuit children, inspiring them through art.
And on Sunday at the Kevin Dodds Art Gallery and Studio, the talents of youngsters from the North were on display in the Inuit Children’s Art of Baffin Island art show.
After a suggestion by the 84-year-old McKenty, who now lives in Ottawa, the art show was put together to bring awareness to the plight of the Inuit children and missing women of the North.
In 2009, McKenty received a Governor General’s Caring Canadian Award. At the time, in a release announcing the awards, it was stated that she had “dedicated her life to helping young people cope with hardship through artistic expression.”
The release went on to state that McKenty had “heard her true calling and had the courage to act. Concerned by the high rate of suicide in Nunavut, Ms. McKenty left her home in Calgary and moved to Iqaluit to help young people.”
