Chitungwiza Arts Centre, located at the corner of Hadzinanhanga and Dzapasi Roads in Zengeza 4, has firmly established itself as a beacon of artistic innovation and cultural preservation in Zimbabwe, since its commencement in 1997. Known as “The Home of Creative Arts,” the centre offers visitors an opportunity to explore works that blend imagination and thought, showcasing the depth of Zimbabwean artistry.

Chitungwiza Arts Centre serves as a nurturing ground for Zimbabwean artists, providing a space where imagination and thoughts are transformed into masterpieces. Exclusive to the centre are unique and original artworks, primarily sculptures, created with passion and precision. Visitors can explore diverse mediums, including painting, wire and bead craft, metal welding, and recycled art.

Sculpturing is not about age, size, weight, or height; it is about the effort one puts into making the final product,” says Isaac Choloka, one of Zimbabwe’s most collectible sculptors. Known for his evocative human figure sculptures, Choloka draws inspiration from love and emotions. His international accolades include exhibitions in Germany, the United States, and beyond, solidifying the Centre’s reputation globally.

The Centre is committed to ensuring every sculpture finds a perfect home. With services such as secure storage, professional packing and crating, and expert shipping advice, customers are assured convenience and quality. Whether for an indoor centerpiece or an outdoor garden feature, Chitungwiza Arts Centre helps elevate spaces with sculptures that exude sophistication and cultural grandeur.

Over the years, the Centre has gained recognition far beyond Zimbabwe. Artists like Diana Nyakudya have been invited to Germany annually to lead workshops, while customers from Europe, the United States, and China continue to acquire these one-of-a-kind pieces.

The Centre has also been at the forefront of cultural and intellectual engagement. Recent workshops on intellectual property rights, hosted in collaboration with Culture Warriors and graced by National Arts Council and Ministry officials, highlight its commitment to empowering artists.

Chitungwiza Arts Centre thrives on collaboration and innovation. Events such as the Water is Life competition, supported by the Pathfinder/Ubuntu – Nelson Family Foundation, and the Culture Month Arts Competition in partnership with the European Union, have spotlighted the talent and creativity of its artists.

The Centre’s dedication to preserving Zimbabwe’s cultural heritage is unmatched. As it continues to grow, it invites locals and tourists alike to experience the best of Shona and Zimbabwean art.
