Directions

Directions from town

From Glenara, at the roundabout turn onto Airport Road heading towards the airport. Pass the army barracks on the left. At the big roundabout turn right.

Take the first left and left again and follow the road around the SPCA wall. You are now on the Airport Road service road, heading downhill and out of town against the traffic. We are three blocks down with a big green wall.

Directions from airport

Head into town on Airport Road. Cross the junction with Harare Drive and go straight on at the traffic lights (robots) junction with St Patrick’s Road. Go over the dip, up the hill to the big roundabout and turn left.

Take the first left and left again and follow the road around the SPCA wall. You are now on the Airport Road service road, heading downhill and out of town against the traffic. We are three blocks down with a big green wall.


Sign painted on the big green wall
Hopefully you can’t miss us!
AND there’s a big sign with our logo, that’s visible to traffic coming in both directions

If you get flummoxed as to how to reach us by car, get your driver to drop you outside our gates on the main Airport Road, so you can walk in and enjoy the gallery while SSG staff give the driver directions to the service road.

Sculptor

Edward is the oldest surviving ‘first generation’ Shona sculptor, as he is now about 90 years old. He’s still sculpting and his distinctive style makes his work instantly recognisable and very sought after.
