Your senses are in for a multicultural treat! Located in the historic Plaza-Midwood neighborhood of Charlotte, just a couple of minutes from uptown, Pura Vida Worldly Art is colorful, eclectic and fun. You'll discover Latin American, Asian, Middle-Eastern, and African folk art, jewelry, clothing, home accents, and spiritual art. Browse our Mexican art section and find Frida Kahlo art, Day of the Dead art, Mexican wrestler masks, carvings and other fun stuff. Our good luck section holds Turkish, Peruvian, Chinese, Guatemalan, and Egyptian talismans. Our jewelry case bursts with Pakistani, Indian, Moroccan, and Afghani jewelry.

When you visit, make sure to walk into our lounge in the back of the gallery. This is where we host workshops, live music, and art openings throughout the year. Click on our What’s Happening page for a calendar of who's playing, singing, dancing, teaching or meeting in our Gypsy Lounge.
