Art and Soul Gift Shop Opens on Tucson’s East Side
Tucson, AZ – Handmade plates, soaps, books, jewelry, kids’ items and artwork hang from the walls and adorn tables made of old doors and fence posts in a new gift shop that prides itself on its “made in the U.S.A.” inventory.
About 95 percent of the store’s products are made by artists in the U.S., said the store’s owners, Kim and Mike Hite. The remaining few products are from India and Istanbul, through free-trade agreements.
Art and Soul, at 1101 N. Wilmot Road, in the Trader Joe’s shopping center, has between 350 and 400 works by 45 artisans, 10 of them from Arizona, available for sale. The majority of the shop’s products are priced at less than $25.
