Artist Carlos Herrera Burgos moved from Peru to Charlotte in 2006. His 20-foot mural (created after receiving a grant from the Charlotte Arts & Science Council), depicts his own memories of Peru and Andean culture, along with other pieces of his art. Today is the last day it will display at Pura Vida Worldly Art. Colorful, unique and full of surprises — his art is definitely the type that should be stared down. Be sure to check out this exhibit before it’s gone. Free. 10 a.m.-7 p.m. Pura Vida Worldly Art, 1521 Central Ave. 704-335-8587. www.puravidaart.com.
