Printmaking began in Ulukhaktok (Holman) in 1960 after the encouragement of Father Henri Tardy. The community has released an annual catalogue, with few exceptions, since 1965. Early Ulukhaktok prints are recognizable for their graphic black stonecut prints with minimal detail, but more recent prints are colourfully made using stencils. Helen Kalvak, CM (1901-1984) is arguably Ulukaktok’s most famous graphic artist. She produced around 2,000 drawings, and her work The Dance was featured on a Canadian postage stamp in 1979. Since 1987, Ulukhaktok printmakers have abandoned the stone cut technique and explored others, including lithography and woodcut.
