Sunday Meetups
When:  Bi-weekly on Sunday afternoons online

West Ottawa Art Meetup is a meetup group for like minded artistically inclined souls to hang out and get together in a creative space. We used to meet in Stittsville previously. Due to the pandemic, the group is meeting virtually now! And so, you don't need to travel from anywhere to be a part of it.

We meet biweekly and for the virtual series, we set up a theme prior to the meetup. You can work on it in the weeks that you have, and during the meetup, we will talk about our work and ask/answer any questions you have for the work, along with general chit chat. The group is largely informal, so conversations happen on all kinds of topics.

We hope you will join us in the hopes of hanging out with like-minded people safely from the comfort of your own home, while we are all social distancing. 

For more information, please see the meetup details at https://www.meetup.com/West-Ottawa-Art-Meetup/
​The Zoom link is added to the meetup on the day of.  The link will be visible only if you RSVP "going" to the event.

Zolas Restaurant Exhibit - Call for artists

WCAS members regularly exhibit artwork at Zolas Restaurant, 2194 Robertson Rd, Nepean. The facility can accommodate an estimated 12 - 16 pieces of artwork from small to large sizes.

Click for more details on this venue.

​West Carleton Arts Society installed our latest exhibit themed "Looking Forward" on March 8th - this exhibit will remain until July 12th.  We have made the decision to drop the May 17th - July 12th exhibit. This permits the current exhibit to have exposure when the restaurant reopens for dining and avoids non essential outings during these uncertain times.​
Zolas is a local family business operating in our community since 1986. For the duration of the current exhibit Zolas will donate their 20% commission from any sale of WCAS artwork to doctors and nurses on the front line. Let’s all help, promote the artwork that is on exhibit at the restaurant as well as our organization.
 
Zolas remains open for take-out and is currently offering a Gift Card promotion. The purchase of a $50 Gift Card gets you an additional $50 card for free. These gift cards are for dining in when the restaurant dining room reopens. To support this promotion, which expires March 31, 2020, go to Zolas' website under "Gift Cards” for details. Order your gift card at 613 721-0227 and pick it up at your convenience.  As a reminder Zolas 20% discount offered to WCAS members is applicable to dining in only not on take out.

Stay well during these difficult times.
