At the far end of our building is one of the two on-site gift shops. Just above the entrance is a sign hand-painted by local artist Francisco Vargas that reads simply: "Tiendita"The literal translation of the word means "Little Shop," and combines the spirit of an upscale museum gift store with the charming flair of a artisan shop that one would encounter while vacationing in a Latin American country.
You will discover an ever-changing inventory and a wide variety of colorful, handmade and unique items. We have an eclectic selection of books for artists and children, CDs in English and Spanish, reasonably-priced posters and prints, greeting cards, hand-crafted jewelry, and one-of-a-kind rebozos.
We also proudly feature locally and internationally handcrafted garments and folk-art creations. Some of our most popular items are blouses and dresses with cross-stitching patterns that have been passed down for generations.
The Tiendita is open during regular gallery operating hours and staffed by a group of dedicated, knowledgeable and friendly volunteers.
