The Centre located on East Sunrise Highway was officially opened by the Hon. Philip E. Davis, Deputy Prime Minister & Minister of Works & Urban development. The purpose of the Centre is to allow locals and visitors to Grand Bahama to experience Bahamian culture first hand.

“Now completed, it is anticipated that this Centre will be included on the itineraries of our operators in Freeport; an attraction at which visitors can have a cultural experience, and observe Bahamian production of locally produced authentic Bahamian arts and crafts. This facility will also be used for the packaging and housing of Bahamian crafts and showcase and sale, thus creating entrepreneurial opportunities for local artisans.”
