Welcome Message

This is my first turn serving as president of the BRCC, though I have been watching with great interest from the wings for some time. I follow on the heels of Bob Long, who took the lead when no one else was prepared to, and guided the Chamber to where it is now – a vibrant, thriving organization that people want to join. Whether this makes my job easier, or harder, I don’t know but at least it won’t be dull.

Authentic Nunavut

Tue, 03/16/2010 - 20:08 — Anonymous

Developed in partnership with the artists of Nunavut, the Authentic Nunavut logo* symbolizes the Arctic land, which is the central inspiration for their work. The image captures the elemental spirit expressed in Nunavut art. 

 

The Nuna Tag enhances the value of Nunavut arts and crafts. The message of the Authentic Nunavut brand is that all artwork bearing the Nuna Tag is genuine and hand made by a Nunavut artist. Buyers will keep it for easy reference and as proof of a work’s origin. The Authentic Nunavut brand and logo are available to all retailers who register for the program. And it’s free to register!


How you benefit

Using the Nuna Tag on Nunavut arts and crafts in your gallery:

• certifies their authenticity as works from Nunavut

• provides a recognizable image for all Nunavut arts and crafts

• promotes genuine Nunavut arts and crafts over imitations

• distinguishes Nunavut arts and crafts from those of other Arctic regions
