“practical art has been borrowing cups of sugar (…and/or buying our toms…) from our lovely frances neighbors for nearly four years now.  we offer locally-made, absolutely usable, quality craft-ware from nearly 100 local artists. When the shop was only a twinkle in the eye of our late founder and friend, jane reddin, she knew even then that practical art would flourish by showcasing the work of exclusively local arizona artists and become a friendly, welcoming community space.  and though jane lost her battle with leukemia last year, she instilled in us her mission of bringing beautiful, affordable art into the lives of everyday folk for everyday use.

we hope to see you at any of our free community events which you can find out about at www.practical-art.com,

by becoming a fan on facebook, or following us on twitter.”
