ABOUT THE ZOLAS RESTAURANT EXHIBIT
West Carleton Art Society has the opportunity to exhibit artwork at Zolas Restaurant, 2194 Robertson Rd, Nepean, ON K2H 9J5. The facility can accommodate an estimated 12 - 16 pieces of artwork from small to large sizes.
The artwork is hung on screws and hooks that are in place and are reused to the extent possible. We do have the option of installing new hooks as required and will attempt to keep this to a minimum. The lighting in the facility is reasonable and the exhibit space is throughout the restaurant.
The coordinators will liaise with the owner of the Restaurant before each exhibit to ensure that he remains agreeable to the exhibit dates and times. During installation we respect that the Restaurant is a place of business and will make every effort not to disrupt patrons.
Exhibits:
There are six exhibits proposed for 2020, each for eight-ten weeks in duration.
