| This sub-sector is
dominated by individual actors who for a long time did
not consider themselves as serious stakeholders, but
as artists, promoters and traders of art. Various groups
of artists are to be found in the constituency:
- Copycats who produce airport arts
and crafts mainly for tourists visiting Tanzania.
- Creative artists engaged in original
designs, productions and exhibition.
- Individuals solely working in the
rural areas.
Artists in the Fine Arts and Crafts
are more market oriented than those in other constituencies.
Actors in the sub-sector include Painters, Sculptors,
Institutions, Galleries, Weavers, Potters and others.
The focal point for Fine Arts &
Crafts is the Mwalim Nyerere Cultural Centre, formerly
known as Nyumba ya Sanaa.
