Chapungu Nights and Artist Worshops

Voice: Ann Walker


I'm Anne Walker, the Garden's Chapungu Exhibition Outreach
Liaison. Join us for Chapungu Nights every Thursday evening now
through September. Spend a summer evening in the Garden seeing
the sculptures from 5:00 to 9:00 p.m. You can take a self-guided
walking tour, watch the artists at work on Linnean Plaza, and enjoy
cocktails and entertainment on Spoehrer Plaza. Dine outside on
the patio of the Sassafras Café where some special African recipes
will be on the menu. The Fountain Grill will serve hotdogs and
hamburgers. Admission to Chapungu Nights is $10.00 or $5.00 for
Garden members-food and drinks cost extra.

You might like to create your own original sculpture at one of
our artist workshops this summer. No experience is required and
artists and residents from the Chapungu Sculpture Park will guide
you during informal 5 day classes, held Tuesday through Saturday,
under a tent on Linnean Plaza. The workshop costs $500, however
membership does have its privileges-Garden members receive a
discount. The fee includes a stone from Zimbabwe, a set of tools
that you may keep, and personal instructions by a Shona artist.
