There are independent shops all over Tucson, but nowhere is quite as cozy as Old Town Artisans…read more With history dating back to the 19th century, Old Town further evolved into a quaint marketplace where different vendors- each with their own physical shop, operate under this big space with nice prices. My kid and I weaved in and out of the shops and even one or two eateries. There's a record shop, souvenirs, handmade Tucson products, ceramics, Native items and more. There's even a courtyard where you can lounge a bit and listen to live music. While my kid and I didn't spend too much time in each shop, Old Town A's ambiance is warm and inviting and were greeted by friendly owners eager to share the history about each of their wares.

Old Town Artisans has long been a downtown Tucson treasure. I hadn't ventured out there in a while…read morebut I'm glad I did. I'm loving the new outdoor seating addition. You can enjoy dining inside the courtyard at Jojos, or you can great a pasta or gelato from ceres and dine on the closed street that now offers plenty of seating surrounded by trees and murals. It's a vibe and I can't wait to enjoy it more as the temps go down. Locals and tourists alike wi find a shop they love and certainly something to eat and drink that they'll love.

What a fantastic hidden gem in Tucson, Arizona! It was so interesting to tour the DeGrazia Gallery,…read morelearning about the artist, and enjoying his art. The landscaping and his Cactus Courtyard with infused art elements was just gorgeous. There is a small chapel to tour as well as his home. Amazing to see the tiny little kitchen that they worked with back in those days This museum is definitely worth the reasonable entrance fee. Parking is plentiful. Accessibility is possible. In my group we had someone who had a mobility scooter. There are special ways to travel through the area where the mobility scooter can get through. Just ask for assistance.

I love that Ted DeGrazia actually spent time in tribal communities and learned from them, and you can feel that in his work. It feels genuine and respectful, not just something created from a distance. The masks especially stood out to me. They have so much detail and meaning. Every time I go, I leave feeling inspired.

Great variety of (local?) Southwestern art and jewelry.

The lady working up front was very friendly. She even designed some of the jewelry that is currently showcased! Most of the paintings/pottery/ jewelry/etc. is influenced by the Southwest. Pretty reasonable prices. I didn't end up buying anything today, but I do have one piece in mind. If it is still there next time I eat at Millie's....I just might get it... ;)

Since my first visit to the Art House Centro-- during an exploratory trip preceding my move from…read moreConnecticut to Tucson-- I've kept coming back to the place, as much to browse for fun as to buy anything, and sometimes to savor Mexican food in the restaurant in the courtyard (preferably within view of the turtle pond in its ring of contented-looking mesquite trees). Bright, hard-edged southwestern colors prevail in the shops within, where local artists' works are for sale, and since each shop is a separate business the place is a labyrinth of little rooms, each room giving onto the next, yet more eccentric one before you know it. The merchandise offered, room-to-room, includes not only the artworks but also books, gewgaws and greeting cards; old countercultural records and posters; vintage clothing; wines from Arizona and sodas from Mexico; and distinctive southwestern edibles such as multihued transparent lollipops with spider and scorpion husks inside (great fun for the kids!). I do highly recommend a thorough browse, or even a souvenir-shopping spree, in the Art House Centro to anyone with a few hours in downtown Tucson to spare.

The gallery highlighted…read moreJay although photographs of other legends such as Ansel Adams and Steve McCury were on display. Arriving a couple hours before the exhibit began, it was pleasure talking photography with Jay who in my opinion, belongs on the Mt Rushmore of photography. It was super cool discussing the stories behind some of his photographs. Most photographs shown were western themed, although I absolutely love his black and white landscapes. The event began in at 7. As we arrived, fashionably late at 730, a couple hundred people were already inside floating around the gallery and outside listening to the Dusty Ramblers (who were electric). The gallery was beautiful and the night was a ton of fun. I plan on coming again soon.
