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. 
Vernissage and Promotion: The Coordinators will advise WCAS social media contacts of new exhibits with photos of the exhibit and identify artists in the exhibit. This will promote our members and the restaurant. It is our intent to coordinate one Vernissage at the restaurant this year to determine effort and benefits. If the initiative proves successful for artists, the restaurant and WCAS we will consider planning more than one next year. Commission There is a 20% commission on all sales that goes to Zolas (no commission to WCAS). CLICK HERE TO APPLY ONLINE |
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.
