Art & Craft Shop
On the second floor of Xoco Kalli next to the café, you'll find a shop filled with a vibrant array of creative materials, art and craft tools alongside a dedicated space for artists to showcase and sell their work.
This shop fills a gap. There is no quality art supply store in Valle, and a supply trip to Mexico City is both expensive and time-consuming. We artists prefer to have a tactile experience instead of buying creative supplies online, which is often a frustrating experience. We want to feel the brush, see the pigment, and touch the paper.
Our little shop makes these materials immediately physically accessible and also ensures that students have all they need for their workshops.
The Xoco Kalli shop also offers a consignment home for artisanía and other locally made goods, creating a seamless connection between maker and appreciative receiver.

Why is this place important?
We believe that art can and does change the world. It’s how stories get told. How emotions find form. How cultures survive.
