Exhibition statement Because of the large and unique space at our restaurants we have many venue options and are willing to work with artists and are willing and able to accommodate the display of many different types of media. Here is a partial list of possible venues within our venue: 1) the main bistro with 17 foot ceilings and a front open entrance area and large windows. 2) a 500 square foot outdoor deck. 3) A bright Cafe with the possibility of an 400 square foot wood floor area 12 foot ceiling and windows on three sides. Please see pictures for an overview. While not necessary, we would like to have an artist display works that have a sustainable or "green" theme or is relating to food or Spain in some way.
