Tons of interesting stuff bought from peoples homes in Mexico and the Southwest.. Very friendly staff. 2 lovely dogs. Had some things Id never seen before.
A very wide selection of Mexican folk art. The store is much larger than you would suspect from the entrance. It features antiques as well as more contemporary pieces. Three owner is very pleasant and quite knowledgeable. Right now construction on Broadway makes getting there a bit challenging but definitely worth the effort.
An ecclectic shop with items of historical reference. Interesting selection. Its an enjoyable place to browse and get ideas.
It is a wonder! The displays are of museum design. So much variety. I feel as if I am in a Central American Historical Colonial City or quaint village. It is a place to find unique, handmade items or beautiful art and furniture for yourself or a gift.
James the owner is one of the best guys around his great products and a friendly attitude stop in and see him
I love this place! They have wonderful vintage, antique and new things from all over Mexico and South America and the inventory seems to change frequently. The owners are helpful and very friendly but i have to admit my faves are the two dogs that sleep under the owners desk!
This is a must visit when you’re in Tucson! Full of the most magical finds. Left with more than I needed but I’m oh so happy about it!
Wall to wall of culture beautiful huipilli rabozo La Vida de Arte is La Vida Mexico!Love it the Owner is very kind friendly this place is a delight to shop
This is my happy place. You are free to shop or just look without be bothered. Beautiful displays, friendly staff. I come to forget about what is going on in the world but always leave with something.
Awesome selection, great prices, and super friendly and helpful owners!
Amazing place! James and Kevin have done a phenomenal job curating their spectacular collection of treasures for sale. Incredible depth and breath of art collectibles is the phrase that first comes to mind. No doubt others have already provided details on their wares. Suffice it to say that whatever piece of Mexican period/collectible folk to modern piece of art, furniture, or decorative item you are looking for can be found at Arte de la Vida. And the neatest of all is that just about every piece they have for sale probably has an interesting story to accompany it. Oh, and before I forget: they do amazing charitable work for our community through their shop.
Wonderfully place. A must.
Wide variety of Mexican and Central American merchandise, priced a bit more reasonably than what Ive seen at other stores of this kind. Friendly, welcoming owner and staff.
Neat shop! Friendly staff
Love this place found a really great deal on some vintage furniture.
Beautiful store, with lots to offer. Owners share a wealth of knowledge and experience
One of my favorite places in Tucson! So many treasures. I always come here when I need a special gift for the person who has everything!
This is an amazing store with beautiful things and knowledgeable owners. Its like being able to buy things from a museum but with down-to-earth prices. There is a lot of choice, a lot of variety and much of the artwork are rare and vintage one-of-a-kind pieces. It is truly a treasure !
Lovely store. A unique and eclectic collection of Mexican and Mexican-American artifacts, art, and kitch. Lovely, knowledgable lady working the register. Fair priced and good selection of items.
FANTASTIC! James & Kevins love and knowledge of Mexico and collection of Mexicos antiquities is the best in Tucson. Their store has a beauty and energy unmatched. I just love them so much!
Amazing place, will return soon
Most interesting art and wonderful colorful pieces. Very enjoyable looking at all the handmade items from other countries. The staff is wonderful!!
We throughly enjoyed our browsing at this great shop. Beautiful pieces and great colors! Shop is very clean and organized! Not a good place for small children that dont stay in hand. Too many things even I wanted to touch!! Staff was delightful. We will be back to visit!!
This store should be on the MUST-VISIT destiny for Mexican vintage art here in Arizona! Owners, Kevin and James and their 2 four legged furry friends will greet you with a wealth of knowledge. They received a surprise visit from two of the Antique Road Show appraisers on June 4, 2015, the day before the show was filmed at the Tucson Convention Center. The appraisers were blown away at their collection in the store!!! Kevin and James are currently expanding their store...2 more rooms. I cant wait to see the completion! Thank you Kevin and James for adding more beauty to Tucson. Diana
Had lots of unique and interesting pieces of genuine artwork and the owner was very knowledgeable and personable. Will definitely be going back!

Check Store Website or Facebook Page for seasonal Hours!Of Course Im going to shower my shop with love, Just a few gentle pointers before coming on down to our beloved store. Arte de la Vida is NOT a Thrift Shop, it is mainly priced Mid to High Antique Retail, with many items affordable under $20. A Great Selection of Vintage Pottery, Textiles, Tin, Glass and Folk Art. Plus Furniture too!, but good luck seeing it, as we have packed our shop to the rafters with treasures from long ago. Nearly every flat inch of the shop is covered.You will NOT find American Indian, Americana or Dutch Pennsylvania Painted Objects...this is A Mexican Folk Shop that specializes in what the shops across the Border did during their heyday, from the 1940s thru the 1980s. This is Stuff from Old Mexico and we love and collect it ourselves! Please ask questions, please understand we are Gringos. Amigos to many of our customers. We have the utmost respect and knowledge for what we sell. We do this because we LOVE it!
Unique and a must visit Tucson original shop!
Nice merchandise, and friendly service
Tucson treasure. Local art and Mexican curios.
Great stuff!!
