Fun Facts

The design of Tlaquepaque Arts & Crafts Village was inspired by the traditional Mexican village of Tlaquepaque, known for its colonial architecture and vibrant arts scene.

Construction of Tlaquepaque Arts & Crafts Village began in the early 1970s, with the intention of creating an authentic arts and crafts community.

Visitors can explore a diverse range of art forms, from contemporary paintings to traditional Native American crafts, across more than 50 unique shops and galleries.

The village is known for its annual events, including the Festival of Lights and Dia de los Muertos celebrations, which highlight its cultural diversity and artistic spirit.

The village's buildings are adorned with hand-painted tiles, wrought ironwork, and cobblestone pathways, reflecting the craftsmanship of its artisans.

Nestled along the banks of Oak Creek, the village offers picturesque views of Sedona's red rock formations, enhancing its artistic ambiance.

The village's architecture was carefully planned to harmonize with the surrounding landscape, incorporating native plants and trees into its design.
