Sculptors:
Art sits are held higher then normally here. Harare and Bulawayo and other areas, are many training places. Some of those centers are self-run, started with the assistance of a patron; some are run by nongovernmental organizations; and some are cooperatives. The most famous is Tengenenge in Guruve District, which has produced many of the most famous Shona sculptors. The National Gallery in Harare was established in 1954, has been influential in the promotion of art, especially sculpture. The competition is very high in every aspect and is very active in every artist.
Graphic Arts:
Shona sculpture is internationally acclaimed and exhibitated. The works that are done are thousands of dollars on the international market, mostly sold in the United States and Europe. Even through the work is called shona sculpture; it is not specific to the shona. The themes come largely from Africa folklore and transformed into figurative and semiabstract works that use a different types of stone, including black serpentine.
