A 22- year old Lilongwe based artist Danny Chisale says many talents among the youth are failing to yield results due to lack of sponsorship to boost their talents.
Chisale said if the youth that have talents can be receiving financial support it will assist many youth to be self employed thereby contributing to creation of jobs among the youth.
“It’s sad that many people do not appreciate the art work done by the youth, as the result many of them end up in immoral behaviors such as excessive bear drinking, smoking and even prostitution which is very bad.
He also said that just as young people are being encouraged to start small businesses, artist also need support to develop in their field so that they can see the value of taking art work as a business.
Chisale also cited that it is pathetic that due to lack of resources to make their work known to the general public, they end up selling their art work at a cheaper price causing their art work business failing to grow.
Mzuzu based artist who has also been in the field for more than 25 years has faulted government for failing to provide reliable and active platform for the artists in the country to display their talents.
Director in the Department of Arts under tourism Ministry, Humphrey Mpondaminga said the ministry has plans to establish the national arts and heritage council in order to provide an active platform for the artists to get exposed saying they have finalized and submitted it to the ministry of justice for approval.
