Wednesday, November 20, 2013 – Eighteen living Inuit artists saw their work go up for auction on Monday at Waddington’s auction house in Toronto.

The Canadian associations of visual artists (CARFAC & RAAV) have requested that the government address this discrepancy by adding the Artist’s Resale Right to the Canadian Copyright Act as has been done in at least 69 other countries.
