First Floor Gallery Harare management. The original gallery venue was established next to a tailor’s workshop on the first floor of Abbey House at 13 George Silundika Avenue, Harare, Zimbabwe. Abbey House is an art deco building, which in recent times has been converted to house a variety of service businesses from tailoring, computer repairs to recording industry. As of January 2012, First Floor Gallery Harare has decided to leave Abbey House premises, which were no longer sufficient for its expanded events and educational programming. Since that time it has been working with a range of partners from The Harare Polytechnic, Chinimbiri Studios in
Mbare, Harare and neighbouring countries. Trade and transport are the pillars of economy in Mbare. Mbare has six government primary schools: Chirodzo, Gwinyai, Chitsere, Shingirai and Nharira. There are three faith schools: St Peter's Roman Catholic School, Chiedza, a Salvation Army church school, and Anglican-run St. Michaels Primary School. The four secondary schools in Mbare are Harare High School, George Stark, St Peters High School and Mbare High School. Hospitals in the area include Edith Oppermann Maternity Wing and Clinic, Mbare Flats Clinic, Matapi clinic and Beatrice Road Infectious Disease hospital. Mbare's features include Rufaro stadium, which hosted the sixth African Games.
