Helen Lieros legacy Art Programme

Hellen Lieros was one of Zimbabwe’s most illustrious artists and had a career that spanned across six decades. She established Gallery Delta in Harare with her husband Derek Huggins in 1975. The independent space has been involved in the curation, organisation, presentation and promotion of approximately five-hundred exhibitions besides being invested in her own practice, Lieros and her husband, dedicated most of their career teaching and mentoring generations of Zimbabwean painters. These include Berry Bickle, Greg Shaw, Lovemore Kambudzi, Cosmas Shiridzinonwa, Gina Maxim, Misheck Masamvu, Admire Kamudzengerere, Richard Mudariki, and many others. In early 2021, Helen Lieros was honored by the National Arts Council of Zimbabwe as a National Merits Awards Legend.

Helen Lieros Voice programme is a programme that has been designed in honour of Helens Art Legacy. Helen loved to teach and put up art exhibitions to promote emerging and young artists in Zimbabwe. This programme will run every Saturday from 9am in the morning to 12 am in the afternoon by offering art lessons to the less privileged community. This programme will teach both boys and girls and will not exclude adults who wish to pursue their art lessons. The programme will be free of charge and sustained by funds from the galleries fundraising pocket.
