Visual Art consultant, author and sculptor Tony Mhonda has been awarded a Black Advancement African-American Renaissance award for his contribution to contemporary African Art in America.


The humanitarian Art award was given to Mhonda at the Oakland University, Berkeley, San Francisco during the Black History Month celebrations last month. Mhonda's writings on the practice of contemporary visual arts in southern Africa were selected as the best out of a total of 1 320 submitted from around the world.

Last year, he was given a Sterling Award Of Excellence in cross-discipline visual Art and economics research at the Centre Of Innovation And Research in Graduate Education from the University of Washington, Seattle, in the United States.
