Tlaquepaque is a shopping and business complex in Sedona, Arizona, United States.[1][2] Located on either side of State Route 179 (SR 179), as it crosses Oak Creek (a tributary of the Verde River), it was founded in 1973 by Abe Miller as an artists' commune.[3][4][5]
The land on which Tlaquepaque stands was a sycamore grove owned by Harry and Ruby Girard.[6][4]
As of 2023, Tlaquepaque contained eighteen art galleries and forty-five shops, while its chapel has been mooted for historical landmark status.[3] Sculptor Lou Rankin formerly owned a gallery at Tlaquepaque.[7]
In 2023, Sedona City Council approved a $3.46 million contract to install a pedestrian underpass, beneath SR 179 and between the two sections of Tlaquepaque.[8]
