The gallery is eager to welcome this influx of tourists, giving them a firsthand look at the exceptional arts and crafts produced by local artisans throughout the province.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As St. John\u2019s gears up for what looks to be a bustling <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/culture.org\/travel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">tourism<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> season, Historic Sites NL is ready to play its part in showcasing the best of what Newfoundland and Labrador have to offer in the world of art.
