About Me

Our mission is to promote unity and enlightenment by increasing multicultural awareness through the exposition of various art forms from around the globe. We have Mexican, Peruvian, Guetemalan, Turkish, Indian, Spanish, Salvadorean, African and Asian art.
We also have a comfy, cool lounge, the "Gypsy Lounge", where visitors can meet to discuss ideas, views, and experiences informally, humorously, and passionately. It is open any time the gallery is open. It's also where we hold live concerts and art openings.
Our address: 1521 Central Ave. Charlotte, NC 28205. We are between Pecan and Thomas (less than a block away from The Penguin, Thomas Street Tavern, and Zada Janes if that helps). Please park across the street, next to John's Country Kitchen, when you visit.

Great band from Winston Salem, June 8!
Caleb Caudle & the Bayonets return to share some new songs! "Red Bank Road, the shockingly brilliant debut album by Caleb Caudle - there is not a bad song, not a misstep, anywhere to be found. There is a free and fresh quality of their songs which transcends classification. What can be heard are urgent, well-instrumented songs with soul-searching lyrics that demand the listener to keep on listening." 4 out of 4 stars. - The Winston-Salem Journal
