About Us

ArcticArtisan was founded with a deep respect for Indigenous culture, art, and storytelling. Over 15 years ago, we started as a small initiative to showcase the work of a few local Indigenous artists. As demand grew, we expanded into a full online marketplace, curating pieces from Indigenous artisans across Canada’s Arctic and beyond. Our mission is simple: to preserve and promote Indigenous artistry while providing fair trade opportunities for the talented creators behind each piece. Every item in our collection, from hand-carved sculptures to intricate beadwork, reflects centuries-old traditions passed down through generations.

We work closely with Indigenous communities, ensuring that all artists receive proper recognition and fair compensation for their work. Sustainability is at the core of everything we do, with a commitment to ethically sourced materials and environmentally friendly production methods. Over the years, ArcticArtisan has become more than just an online store—it’s a platform that connects collectors, art lovers, and Indigenous creators. We believe that every piece tells a story, and we are honored to share these stories with the world.
