About the Business
Home - ZimArt | Founded in 2000, this unique sculpture park, home to the most comprehensive, eclectic selection of Zimbabwean stone sculpture in Canada. It’s a must-see destination for art lovers of all ages just outside of Toronto. ZimArt's Rice Lake Gallery represents over 50 Zimbabwean stone sculptors. Their work is on display in a beautiful natural oasis overlooking Rice Lake and the Northumberland Hills. Sizes range from table top to monumental. - Gallery visitors can stroll around the gallery on self-guided tours, drink an espresso under a safari tent, picnic under a tree or a tent, birdwatch or count frogs in the pond, read up on background material about this art movement and even meet one of the artists. During much of the summer season the artist-in-residence, visiting from Zimbabwe, is on site teaching workshops or talking and demonstrating to gallery visitors. Canada's Shona Sculpture Gallery is open each day from June 1 to Thanksgiving.

I would give this place 10 stars if I could. Beautiful art selection and a complete experience by combining it with nature. Calmness and relaxation from the moment we got in, they even offered umbrellas so we could appreciate the art under the rain. The owner is a lovely person. My son speaks about her still today. There were two ponds and she took the time to show them to my son, play with him, and answer all the imaginative questions a four years old could have. Amazing experience!

Drove there today and was impressed by the sculptures. The curator ignored us totally when we arrived. I tried to ask her a question after touring the grounds and artwork, she didn't even look up before replying nope". Not another word

We one over 20 sculptures and metal pieces from Zimart and we absolutely love them. Fran is a truly wonderful host, and her beautiful outdoor gallery is something that must be experienced. Can't say enough great things about Zimart. A must see if you are in the region. Can't wait to get our next piece. Here are just a few of the works we have collected over the years.

It's a great place. Not far from ptbo. It's very peaceful and all the art pieces are very good. Takes about an hour but it's worth it. Beautiful stones are carved in Zimbabwe from lava rocks. They are special on their own. I recommend you visit this place once.

Absolutely stunning outdoor art gallery. Each piece was meticulously crafted and detailed. Definitely worth the drive. Admission is free but donations are accepted and proceeds go to a good cause. All pieces are also available for purchase.

This gallery featuring sculptures and other art created by artists from Zimbabwe is a little off the beaten track, but well worth a visit. Every year, the owner brings in an artist in residence from Zimbabwe. Apparently, he just left yesterday as it’s getting too cold! The 7 day access to the outdoor exhibits closes tomorrow for the winter season. However, the owner is still available by appointment.

The gallery is closing permanently after Thanksgiving 2023. Visit while you can. We'll worth the trip.
