To commemorate 68 years of incorporation, the National Gallery of Zimbabwe will observe a day of events for the Public, with the support of the Friends of the Gallery.
Activities on the day will include an exhibition in the Sculpture Garden, and Public Programmes aimed at all demographics in the Gallery.
The National Gallery of Zimbabwe was founded as the Rhodes Centenary Gallery in 1957, and later reverted to the Rhodes National Gallery, and through the almost seven decades of existence, the gallery has been central to the promotion and development of visual art through its exhibitions and collection of Zimbabwean artists and visual art.
Since 1982, the National Gallery has taken the front seat in Visual Art education, with its School of Visual Art and Design and Education and Public Programing providing guidance on curriculum development and career guidance in all parts of the Republic.
On the 17 th of July 2025, the Friends of the Gallery will support the Gallery’s incorporation through activities that bring together its membership base and members of the public.
The event will be free and open to all members of Public, and entrance to the Gallery will be free for all.
Exhibition Space in the Garden, an Affordable Art Sale, Free Tours, Drawing and Painting sessions, Face Painting for the young and Presentations of the Culture Box will all be part of the programme on the day.
