This seven month exhibition featues 82 unique, hand-carved sculptures by African artists from Zimbabwe that depict animals, families, customs, social issues and creatures of legend. Carved from opal stone, cobalt and springstone, these alluring works of art will be grouped by theme in Fairchild's lowlands. These amazing sculptures range in height from three to 10 feet and weigh between 600 and 6,000 pounds. Exhibit runs through May 31, 2013. In addition to enjoying the exhibition, visitors and the community can create their own original sculpture with the help of a Chapungu artist in residence during one of several five-day workshops held Tuesday through Saturday in a pavilion near the lowland's palm collection. No experience is required. The $500 fee includes a sculpting stone from Zimbabwe, a set of tools to keep and instruction by prominent Zimbabwean artists. For reservations and details, call (305)-667-1651 ext 3322.
