Tucked away in the postcard-perfect fishing village of Quidi Vidi, just minutes from downtown St. John’s, the Quidi Vidi Village Artisan Studios is where traditional craftsmanship meets modern creativity—and it’s a brilliant stop for 2SLGBTQIA+ travelers looking to explore the city’s artistic soul.

Housed in a restored fish plant perched right on the water, this working studio space is home to a rotating group of local artisans who specialize in everything from pottery and printmaking to textiles, jewelry, and visual art. You can browse one-of-a-kind pieces, watch the artists at work, and even chat with them about their creative process.
