This art has meaning. This art is imbued with extraordinary, intense spirituality. It will get in you and work on you forever.
Shona sculpture is perhaps the most important new art form to emerge from Africa in this century.
It is extraordinary to think that of the ten leading sculpture carvers in the world, perhaps five come from one single African tribe, the Shona. These marvelous Shona sculptors from Zimbabwe speak for Africa but they also speak for us all; they restore a dignity to art which it is in danger of losing.

ZimSculpt is a chance to see pieces that influenced some of the 20th century’s greatest artists, including Man Ray, Miró, Matisse and Picasso and to maybe take a piece of history home with you. Part art mart, part garden stroll — it’s a homo horticulturist’s dream.
Patrons toured the gardens as two Zimbabwean sculptors were on hand creating from raw materials. ZimSculpt, a traveling exhibit, features several dozen pieces of the finest in Zimbabwean rock sculpture worldwide.
