How much is space at ZaPow?
We are a collection of talented artists and writers but we are not a cooperative. We handle the sales for you and take a very small 10% commission. (vs. the typical 50% commission of most galleries). In place of large commissions, we rent spaces to selected artists and encourage them to set up and maintain their space in a way that best suits them. If an artist is not local, we will curate the exhibit at no extra cost.

In addition to the space that you rent we invite our artists to participate in group shows on our front wall. We are having an opening on February 11th for our Zombies and Lusty Ladies show and an opening for our Art with Heart show on February 12th. We only take a 10% commission for pieces sold on our front wall.

We are filling up quickly. The prices and sizes below reflect what is currently available in the gallery.

    6' x 2'  Gallery Wall ---- $55 monthly
    6' x 3'  Gallery Wall ---- $75 monthly
    10'x3'    Gallery Wall ---- $85 monthly
