Since the late 1950’s Zimbabwe Stone Sculpture has been a contemporary art phenomenon that has played a significant role in the development of art from Africa. This explosion of cultural expression had early influence from Joram Mariga and his Nyanga Group in 1957, but the main thrust came from the new National Gallery under its first Director, Frank McEwan in 1957-1958. Other important communities such as Tengenenge in Guruve and Chapungu Sculpture Park became involved in the late 60’s and still support and promote artists to this day. Since 1970, Chapungu has been foremost in the promotion of this art form and has run almost all the major exhibitions of importance such as: Royal Botanical Gardens at Kew, London, U.K. • Chicago Botanic Gardens, Chicago, IL. • Kasteel Groenevelt & African Museum, Netherlands • Jerusalem Botanical Gardens, Jerusalem, Israel Fort Canning Park, Singapore • Kirstenbosch Botanic Gardens, Cape Town, South Africa • Missouri Botanical Gardens, St. Louis, MO. • Palmengarten, Frankfurt, Germany • Denver Botanic Garden, Denver, CO. Chapungu Park can be rented for weddings, receptions, corporate gatherings and fund-raising events. Call 970.962.9990 for rental details..
