Though the artistes’ appreciated the Ministry of Youth, Sports and Culture’s (MIJESPOC’s) effort to promote their works, they were unsatisfied on the number of visitors to the event.
"Perhaps the ministry did not publicize it enough, because there were very few visitors, and some of us sold little,” said Callixte Muvunyi, one of the painters.
They however noted that those who attended the show were amazed at their pieces of art, and many of them promised to even visit and buy from their workshops.
The culture week, which had the arts show as one of its events, run from 6th-11th November, and will be celebrated annually, according to MIJESPOC ‘s Lauren Makuza, the coordinator.
