The Confederation Centre is the largest cultural complex within the City. Within the Centre are a theatre and an art gallery. The area inspires creativity, and there are many local artisans who find their inspiration in the island landscape. This inspiration is transferred onto canvas, pottery, glass, and in handcrafts such as textiles, as well as contemporary woodwork. Plenty of gifts and souvenirs are available from many of these local artisans.
