retail art programme

NAMARA has been working with Canada Goose to bring art into their retail environments since 2017. We fulfill the client’s mandate to share Inuit art, and narratives around the Arctic experience through the inclusion of artwork by Canadian and Inuit artists. Additionally, we feature international artists whose work is relevant to regional audiences, and large-scale special projects for select locations. We love this project because it brings meaningful art to diverse audiences in unexpected spaces.
