UPCOMING EVENT
 

PaperGirl Charlotte

Friday, June 6, 7pm-10pm. 

We are happy to host this event for a 2nd year.  PaperGirl is where art is created on paper, exhibited in a gallery, then given away (yep, FREE) the following day to unsuspecting pedestrians via bicycle.  It's a way to spread art across the community and make the idea of owning art be less intimidating.  It's about creating art for the simple sake of sharing it with others. Come view the art on this evening before it's given away the next day. 

   

Pura Vida Worldly Art's mission is to provide art and crafts from around the globe in an environment that nurtures cultural awareness, knowledge and appreciation. 

  

From time to time we hold small workshops, artist discussions, author readings and other community events.
