RALA - Gifts + Local Art

Such a cute shop with tons of momentos, fun items/clothing, and more! Highly recommend checking out this corner of Knoxville!

One of my favorite stores in Knoxville and my go-to when searching for unique gifts. They also exhibit excellent art. And they’re great about allowing you to purchase items and holding them for you if, for example you’re waiting for a table next door and want to pick up your items later.

Great looking artwork in here and friendly staff helping customers.

This was the coolest store I’ve been to in downtown Knoxville! They offer a huge selection of pieces created by small, local artists which truly makes their store a treasure trove. You’ll find new items each time you visit! On my last visit, I ended up leaving with stickers and postcards for friends. Whether you’re looking for new art to decorate your own home or art to send to friends, you’re sure to find something special here for any style!

Sweet little shop with a decent amount to look at. Plenty of Dolly stuff if she is your fave. 👍🏻

Great Place to find pieces by local artists! Very friendly and helpful staff.

Visiting from Chicago loved the jewelry and art prints. such a nice variety in the cozy shop. I ordered a print which arrived promptly with lovely packaging, wonderful thank you and even stickers to seal the package. I also purchased earrings which I love as well.

I'm of the opinion that every little city should have a RALA! Sweet little shop selling locally made art and goods. Best place to buy souvenirs if visiting from out of town, or for a "welcome to Knoxville" gift for newcomers just moving here.

I placed an online order with Rala. I got my art promptly, but it was damaged in the mail. One email later, I got back a lovely response from Rala -- they addressed the issue with grace and a sense of humor, and everything was quickly made right. They have great art and fantastic customer service!

Nice selection of Knoxville-related prints. Handcrafted soap, candles, greeting cards and other gift items. Fans of Dolly will find a great selection.

Nice people working here. Selection is solid and much of it seems to be from local makers/artists.

Rala is my go-to shop for cards. I am a big letter writer and they have the cutest cards for every occasion. Why buy factory-produced cards at a big box store when you can buy locally, handcrafted cards for the same price? Oh and they have tons of Dolly Parton merchandise which is a huge plus as well.

Rala has unique art, gifts, and the best cards! Sometimes I walk down here on lunch to laugh at the cards! Haha!

Always has great art and other interesting things in stock. I go there all the time to just look around. There is non-child friendly content sometimes, not nudity of course, but just bad language. Still, fun place to look around while you're downtown.

I love this shop! Hand made pottery and all crafted items are so pretty! I went to see an Acrylic exhibition by a local artist! Amazing as always.

A wonderful gem in Old City Knoxville. Rala is home to a vast array of locally- and regionally-sourced artwork, crafts, and artisan goods. Perhaps the best facet is that the selection is in perpetual flux, ensuring that you'll always have something new to look at when you visit. Be sure stop in and purchase something to support all the hardworking folks in the Maker City!

We love this store! 100% worth visiting. There was a ton of local art and some very unique selections. I can't wait to go back.

I love Rala! It's my go-to for cards and fun gifts. There's always new stuff to see, and my only complaint is that I always leave with more than I came in to buy. :)

Great selection of candles! So many pins, patches, puzzles, etc. Normally I don't find much at little shops like this, but this one is perfect and fairly priced.

Really cute store! I love buying gifts here, and the inventory is always changing. Excellent variety of postcards and greeting cards--really funny "adult" options.
