This year’s Zambian Art and Design Show (ZADS) is
scheduled to take place on Sunday, December 7, 2014
and the show has attracted over 60 exhibitors.
The Zambian Art and Design Show, whose aim is
to bring together Zambian artists and designers to
showcase their works before their would-be potential
buyers that include both local and international visitors,
and has started rece iving positive response from artists,
designers and companies wishing to exhibit. Zambian
Art and Design Show is a fair that allows Zambian
craftsmen to bring their best handmade works in
furniture, kitchen ware, jewelry, recycled fashion and
hand woven rugs and textiles. It is an avenue used to
help people in the creative industry to share ideas and
knowledge, to do business in the same environment
and have the ability to network among themselves.
2007 was the first year of the Zambian Arts and Design
Show, although at that time it was a simple Christmas
Fair in the back garden at Sugarbush Farm. The little
show was such a success that in 2008 an enormous
marquee was rented and invited some 40 exhibitors.
Around 1 500 visitors attended. As a result, the
Zambian Arts and Design Show (ZADS) was born and
a committee formed, and with this the show became
a much more professional event which in 2010 was
held at the Leopards Hill Polo Crosse Club, 2011-2013
at the LusakaP olo fields and in 2014 will be held back
at Leopards Hill Polo Crosse club on Chifwema Road, a
fantastic venue which is able to cope with the 2000 plus
visitors they are expecting. ZADS has become a much
anticipated annual event and certainly the single best
opportunity to see and buy the very best of Zambia’s
quality products.

option of reading the book prior to the course;
alternately, they can use the book as a reference

Software: They will use the freeware, QGIS, during
the course to demonstrate integration of aerial and
satellites images into geographical information
systems, enhancement and analysis of imagery,
integration of enhanced and analysis of images, and

loaded and installed on all computers prior to the
