Tlaquepaque Arts & Crafts Village Turns 40
It is hard to believe that this year Tlaquepaque Arts & Crafts Village is turning 40! Maybe that wouldn't be so remarkable in another city where arts and culture has been celebrated for decades or even centuries. Sedona, however, which had a population of 2000 in the early 1970s, and only became incorporated as a city in 1988, quickly became renowned as a vibrant arts community. Since its inception in 1973, Tlaquepaque has played a significant role in putting Sedona on the map as a world-renowned arts destination.
