THE GALLERY AND THE COLLECTION

Welcome to Cuba! Gallery of Fine Cuban Art.  Setting the stage for your enjoyment of a stunning collection of Cuban art, is an intimate museum like gallery with wide, shady verandas, polished hardwood floors and Latin music, in a lovely restored, 1910 Florida house in Melbourne, Florida. 

Cuba! Gallery of Fine Art exhibits and sells only works of art created by contemporary, renown and emerging Cuban artists who live and work in the island nation of Cuba.  We are the largest of only two brick-and-mortar establishments in Florida that sells exclusively, art from inside Cuba.  All art in the Gallery is original.

The rotating collection of 100+ works features the real to the surreal, abstraction to  impressionism, figurative and folkloric;  in oils, acrylics, textile collages, mixed media, photography, original engravings, serigraphs and collagraphs. 

Until recently, the artistic riches of the island nation have been locked behind the walls of the U.S. imposed economic embargo.  But, now we are enjoying the Cuban art that the rest of the world has been applauding for some time. 

DOING BUSINESS IN CUBA

Gallerist Marjorie Pravden travels to Cuba regularly with a Cuban visa and a Special License from the U.S. Department of the Treasury.  She has a Masters degree in Art Education and ten years experience in transporting art from Cuba to the U.S.

We purchase works outright from artists in the privacy of their homes and workshops in towns, cities and rural countrysides in Cuba.  We take the art out of their frames, roll them up, carry them on board the plane in our arms, bring them home and reframe them.  The artists comprise a group of fine and performing artists who, as a result of compensation coming from other countries, are part of Cuba's new emerging middle class. 

On this site, we are pleased to share with you, our thought-provoking experiences in conducting business with Cuban artists, many of whom over the years have become our friends.  They are stories richly laden with trust, hope, graciousness and an entrepreneurial spirit beyond compare.  We will add them from time to time under certain artists on the "Search Artists" page. 

Thank you for visiting us.
