CHOISEUL ARTS AND CRAFTS CENTRE

The Choiseul Arts and Craft Center is perhaps the most notable business in all of

Choiseul and is the focal point of our budding arts and craft industry. So many people

in Choiseul take part in some type of artistic trade that the Craft Center has become

an integral part in the lives of many of Choiseul’s families. At the Craft Center you can

find many different kinds of art from all over Choiseul including pottery, grass

weavings, children’s dolls, professional framed photos, coconut and wood carvings and

much more. To purchase something from the Craft Center is to support Choiseul and

the craft culture we are famous for.

The Craft Center is owned and operated by the Ministry of Education and opened in

1989. It is located in La Fargue, just above Choiseul Village and has 5 full time

employees. Its primary function is to provide a market for the purchase and sale of

Choiseul’s arts and craft. The Center’s secondary function is as an NSDC (National

Skills Development Center) training center, where unemployed persons over the age

of 17 can learn valuable skills such as construction and craft design as well as skills to

be used in the tourism industry, just to name a few. Their year’s work plan is to open

a restaurant next to the Craft Center as well as to improve their partnership with

CATCH (Choiseul Association of Craft and Heritage Tourism) and assist them with

helping Choiseul’s many artisans.
