And that’s just the start. Before the holiday rush sets in, spend a weekend discovering the heart of Sedona’s artistry, one boutique at a time.
An Eye for Art
Sedona’s creative roots run deep. Artists and makers have long been drawn here by the light, landscape, and spiritual energy of the red rocks. Today, you’ll find that legacy continued across dozens of galleries and studios showcasing everything from fine art to folk crafts.
Browse for one-of-kind pieces at the Tlaquepaque Arts & Shopping Village, a beloved landmark just a few minutes from The Arabella. Modeled after a traditional Mexican village, its cobblestone walkways and vine-draped archways are home to more than 50 galleries and specialty shops. Look for hand-blown glass, Southwestern pottery, Native American jewelry, and landscape paintings that mirror the colors of Sedona’s canyons.
We always stop by Rowe Fine Art Gallery for its selection of original bronze sculptures and western art, Eclectic Image Gallery for its breathtaking landscape photography, and Exposures International Gallery, for bold statement pieces for your home.
Shop Small
Don’t miss Uptown Sedona, where boutique storefronts line the scenic main street and welcome visitors with colorful displays and friendly local owners. At Sedona Candle Magic, you can watch artisans hand-pour candles infused with desert botanicals and essential oils. Pick up handcrafted turquoise jewelry and authentic Native American art at Clear Creek Trading Co. Or, explore smaller local collectives such as Sedona Artist Market, a cooperative space featuring over 100 local artists under one roof, where you’ll find hand-thrown pottery, gemstone jewelry, painted gourds, and more.
If you love fashion, The Hummingbird House and Ritual offer bohemian-infused selections of apparel, accessories, and home goods. Many of these boutiques carry pieces you won’t find anywhere else, making for thoughtful holiday gifts with a story.
