Winter Retail Spotlight: Himalayan Arts, New Paltz

Discover handcrafted treasures and mindful gifts at Himalayan Arts in New Paltz this winter.

November 01, 2024

In early 2000, Kalsang Lama founded Himalayan Arts in New Paltz’s Water Street Market, making it the oldest Himalayan Tibetan store in town and one of the longest-standing in the Hudson Valley. What began with a carefully curated collection of handmade Tibetan rugs, furniture, art, and antiques has blossomed into a diverse shop offering clothes, scarves, bags, singing bowls, meditation rugs, jewelry, and more—many crafted by skilled artisans and sourced fairly. Local makers also add their unique touch with beautifully designed T-shirts, hats, and meditation cushions, creating a truly special retail experience.

 

In early 2000, Kalsang Lama opened Himalayan Arts in Water Street Market, New Paltz, NY. As the oldest Himalayan Tibetan store in New Paltz and one of the oldest in the Hudson Valley, it started with handmade Tibetan rugs, furniture, art, and antiques. Over the years, Kalsang expanded her selection to meet customer interests, adding clothes, scarves, bags, singing bowls, meditation rugs, furniture, and jewelry, many of which are handmade and fair trade. Local artisans also contribute with beautifully crafted T-shirts, hats, and meditation cushions.

Kalsang deeply appreciates her patrons, whose support enables her to assist both local and Himalayan artisans. She is passionate about sharing the rich cultural heritage of the Tibetan Himalayas, often sharing stories and languages with her patrons. Himalayan Arts is more than a store; it's a bridge between communities, fostering connections and sharing culture. Visit the store to find unique, meaningful pieces and become part of their vibrant story.
