“As a chef and restaurant owner, I value food and where it comes. We bought our Thanksgiving heritage bird from Franny’s Farm last year and plan to for years to come. I can appreciate these birds are raised on pasture for over 6 months and processed on the farm.

Don’t forget to cook those bones afterwards.”~Jeff Miller, Owner Luellas BBQ

ZaPow Grand Re-Opening Reception

After a rent increase, a lost lease, moving into storage, and months of construction delays, we are back! This move would have been impossible without the support of our community. Our Grand Opening Reception will be a love letter to our many supporters. Our community’s monetary contributions and words of encouragement gave us the stamina to persevere through setbacks and delays.

We also want to say a special thank you to our new landlord; who first helped us minimize our storage costs and then personally helped move much of our art in the final hours before we received our Certificate of Occupancy. There are often delays with any building project but our landlord and construction crew have really been there for us through this process.

We are open and selling art now.
Our Grand Re-Opening Reception will be Saturday June 3rd, 7-9pm.

Our Grand Re-Opening Reception will feature:
Dj Kutzu performing live in our new community/classroom
Free Local Beer (TBD)
Art show specifically for our GoFundMe Donors, where we will give out all rewards to our GoFundMe Donors.
Appetizers from Strada Italiano (A gift from our landlord who is part owner in Strada)

In our new location we have many of our returning artists as well as some brand new ones. In addition to a larger gallery, ZaPow’s new location includes a 320 sq. ft space for storing, shipping and receiving art, two all gender public bathrooms and a Classroom/Community room.

The Classroom/Community room will allow ZaPow to add to it’s schedule of professional art development courses. The classroom/community room will also be available to rent for professionals to meet, teach or create. Prices will be $10 an hour for ZaPow Member artists and $20 an hour for the general public.

We are so excited to be a part of the growing vibrant culture of South Slope. We hope to see you soon! ZaPow is now located at 150 Coxe Ave. Suite 101, Asheville, NC 28801. Our phone number is 828-575-9112. For any further info please contact Lauren@ZaPow.com
