The African Arts Center is an amazing place where you can buy original crafts made through contemporary arts practices. It also has a nice cafeteria.

So if you are looking for that perfect, uniquely African gift for anyone and you haven't been down to the uShaka World Village Walk retail area - you should do yourself a favour and head down there. You will find a relaxed retail atmosphere with an assortment of shops - with flip flops fitting right in on this walk! I discovered a true little gem of Durban along the route - The African Art Centre. It is a fitting example of a truly spectacular collection of Local Artists' work - on display for sale. The old nik-naks found on the Durban beachfronts - aimed at the tourists which frequent Durban in the School Holidays, have no place in this art & craft gallery. Instead, there are intricately carved and brandished wooden African animal characters such as Peacocks, Owls & Rhinos - each with their own unique touches - with no two pieces being alike. You will also find brightly coloured intricate beadwork, fantastically complex basket weaving and exquisite jewellery in the form of beaded necklaces and bangles - displaying a rich tapestry of vibrant colours and geometric patterns. Not only are you supporting an indigenous 'cultural experience' which gives struggling artists a backbone for survival, but you will be warmed by the distinctively African feel of your affordable purchase. There is a larger selection of arts & crafts available at the headquarters - the Phansi Museum, situated at 500 Esther Roberts Road in Glenwood. A definite two thumbs up for adding to quality Durban Tourism!! Local is Lekker.

This is the most amazing venture. Providing an outlet for South Africa's amazing talent is a wonderful idea which has been beautifully done. I spent a pleasurable few hours at the center shop which is full of interesting art and craft products.
