Greenland’s first art school, Nunatsinni Eqqumiitsuliornermik Ilinniarfik, was founded in 1972 as the Graphic Workshop and was housed in Nuuk’s old public baths. The founders were the highly respected artists Hans Lynge and Bodil Kaalund.
Under the Home Rule Government in 1981, it was decided that the art school would have one class of five students per year. Throughout the year, the students work on drawing, acrylic painting, graphic and technical printing, mixed media, and sculpture. Every June, all students exhibit their final projects at Katuaq, where they conclude their studies.
