We discovered this gem hidden in the main courtyard of Spanish Village. Featuring Arizona artists. The art here isn't what you expect but if you love the offbeat, the whimsical, and humor, this is a great place to find art, unique home accents, and fascinating jewelry. A must! read more

If you are headed to the Scottsdale or Carefree area you MUST walk into this small shop and check out the wares. It's eeeettthnniiccc. Filled with funky hand-made wares that celebrate the crazy Latin culture... we spent a good 10 min in this little store, ooh'ing and laughing, and calling each other over to look at this...and this...and this. LOVE the crazy art that takes classic old-school paintings and makes them fun. LOVE the unique metal jewelry peppering the walls. LOVE all the crazy esqueleto kind of Nacho Libre vibe, little hanging dolls, painted prints, photo frames, painted handbags...who DOESN'T need a thick knitted scarf with a little crazy Mexi gremlin face on it? Come on people, think outside of the box. Came home with a few small gifts for the family. Almost everything in this place is made by local artists, so you are supporting AZ talent when you shop here. read more

Walked into the store because the shop owner invited us in. My husband and I were very surprised at the collection of unique art. There's a perfect blend of quirky, funny, and unconventional art. It is refreshing from the typical southwest art found in a lot of other shops that start to look the same. The shop owner was also very welcoming and so great to talk to. She is very passionate and knowledgeable about the art she sells. Definitely recommend stopping by for a look!! read more

This is my go-to gallery for upscale and unique gifts. It is also ideal for the perfect statement piece to make any decor vibrant. I have various locales that I take my out of town guests to and this is always a delightful favorite. The collection is so engaging that I could spend hours there just soaking it all in. The outgoing owner is very accommodating and will gladly arrange to ship pieces all over. It is tucked away in the charming courtyard of Spanish Village in Carefree. There are lots of fun things to do in Carefree and Cave Creek, but visiting this gallery is worth traveling from anywhere just on its own! read more

Where does one begin when you've encountered a store so unique that it leaves an everlasting impression on your retail psyche? Shop owner, Meg Witmer is a one of a kind talent and a rare bird these days. Her shop is a nest of delights, each item hand picked and beautifully presented. All by itself Adelante is a pure magical shopping experience and enough reason to look past the El Pedrigal Shopping Center. Fly over to this shop pronto! *As for it being compared to any other Folk Shop in Phoenix Metro... not even close! (LIke comparing your average Filibertos to the spectacular Barrio Cafe.) Where those shops stock the same old tired merchandise (that every Mexican Import shop across the US carries). Meg and Adelante rely on Local and International Artists, each with a unique soul and not mass produced for the average shopper. More than just another Latiin or Ethnic gift shop, this place is one of a kind art adventure! read more

Wonderful experience visiting the shop. Lots of interesting pieces and the owner ia knowledgeable and delightful to talk with. A definite must see and experience on your way to Care Free. read more
