First Floor Gallery Harare, Contemporary art gallery in Harare, Zimbabwe

First Floor Gallery Harare is an exhibition space for contemporary art in central Harare that displays paintings, sculptures, photography, and video installations by local artists. The space features rotating shows with different media and artistic approaches.

First Floor Gallery Harare was founded in 2009 as Harare's first artist-run gallery, based in downtown Harare. It began in a spare room next to a tailor's workshop in an old Art Deco building, with rent-free space from Afrimune Records for its first two years. In 2021 it opened a new office and gallery in Victoria Falls to mentor and promote local artists.

The gallery displays works by artists from Harare, creating a place where people can experience contemporary art from their own region. Visitors encounter pieces that reflect current themes and local perspectives.

The gallery is located in central Harare and is relatively easy to find if you know the area or ask for directions locally. It is advisable to check opening hours in advance, as exhibitions change and access is linked to current shows.

The gallery opened a second office and exhibition space in Victoria Falls in 2021, aiming to mentor and promote artists there. Painter Amanda Shingirai Mushate is among the artists associated with the gallery.
