Across from Vendor's Plaza, a bright blue building welcomes visitors and longtime residents to the Native Arts and Crafts Cooperative.

The Welcome Center is a perfect fit for the Native Arts and Crafts Cooperative, which has long been a favorite of locals and visitors searching for that perfect, authentic flavor of the island. Locally handmade hot sauces, crafts, dolls, jewelry, soaps, sculptures and paintings are available, as well as writings and music penned and recorded by local artists.

Stop by the new Welcome Center and the Native Arts and Crafts Cooperative next time you are downtown and see the results of vision and cooperation. For more information call the Native Arts and Crafts Cooperative: 777-1153.
