Sculptors call for govt support

AVAC Arts director Terrence Musiyiwa has urged the Youth, Sports, Art and Culture ministry to assist in the revival of the sculpture sector, which he said has the capacity to contribute to the country’s economic growth.

Avac Arts mainly focuses on virtual gallery operations and trades in artefacts online.

“Stone sculpture was once one of the biggest artforms to bring in foreign currency in the country and I believe with the right assistance, it still can be,” he said.
