First Floor Gallery expands support to emerging talents
BY WINSTONE ANTONIO
IN an effort to support emerging artists across the country, local independent contemporary artist-led gallery and educational space, First Floor Gallery Harare (FFGH), recently opened an office in Victoria Falls at the Elephant’s Walk complex.
FFGH executive director and co-founder Marcus Gora told NewsDay Life & Style yesterday that their plan with the latest gallery would be to help mentor local artists, art professionals in the region and create international visibility for the best talents.
“For too long, Harare has gotten the lion’s share of attention and opportunities when it comes to visual arts development. It is time to support the talent across the country and that is why we decided to open a new space in the resort town of Victoria Falls,” he said.
