HOTEL ZAZA’S ART HOUSE & SOCIAL GALLERY TO HOST ART SHOW ENTITLED “WEST COAST WOMEN”
Versatile Event Space Will Feature Three San Francisco Bay Area
Female Artists Represented by Turner Carroll Gallery
DALLAS (August 31, 2011) – The Stay ZaZa Art House and Social Gallery continues to be
an event space where creative dreams and possibilities are endless with guests able to
entertain amidst works of art presented ZaZa‐style in this unique and creative extension
of the hotel.
The Stay ZaZa Art House and Social Gallery, located next to Hotel ZaZa on the
corner of McKinney Avenue and Leonard Streets, is available for events such as art
exhibits, business meetings, social events, and many more. Private events may be
scheduled for sixteen to 150 guests. Through this venue, Hotel ZaZa is able to showcase
its full‐service hotel and catering services, while also offering creative freedom to the
guest.
Continuing their partnership, Hotel ZaZa has announced its fourth collaboration
with Turner Carroll Gallery and Art Advisors to bring the next show to the Stay ZaZa Art
House & Social Gallery. The show titled “West Coast Women” will feature new and
recent works by San Francisco Bay Area female artists Deborah Oropallo, Inez Storer and
Jenny Honnert Abell. The exhibition opens September 14 and continues through
October 20, 2011.

“After the success of the last three shows by Turner Carroll, we are excited to
see what the next show brings,” said Benji Homsey, President of Z Resorts Management
and Development, LLC. “The Stay ZaZa Art House & Social Gallery has many uses, but
hosting curated exhibitions by national artists definitely aligns with our vision for this
creative extension to the hotel.”
“We are surrounded by a creative community as neighbors of the Dallas Arts
District. This is Hotel ZaZa’s opportunity to increase our presence in the visual arts
scene,” said Homsey. “The Stay ZaZa Art House and Social Gallery will bring ZaZa‐style to
a new level, providing a venue for any type of event guests can dream up and
customizing each and every aspect.”
Deborah Oropallo is one of the most important photographic artists working
today. Often driven by an interest in uniforms, she creates prints on aluminum that
blend contemporary female costumes with historically significant male portraits or
other forms of masculine imagery. This show will feature her work in a variety of
mediums‐ prints on paper, prints on aluminum as well as cotton jacquard tapestry. Her
work has been exhibited in such places as the de Young Museum in San Francisco and
the Whitney Museum of American Art. In addition, Oropallo’s work is included in
several public collections, such as those of the Whitney Museum of American Art and
the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston.
Inez Storer’s paintings are both charming and mysterious in nature due to Storer’s
use of collage with found objects. Her work engages the viewer in a sort of "magical
realism," urging the viewer to imagine the stories behind the canvas. Storer's work has
been exhibited in the National Museum of Women in the Arts and the San Francisco
Museum of Modern Art. Additionally, her paintings have been included in the
permanent collections of the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, the Oakland Museum
of California, the Lannan Museum in Fort Worth, the San Jose Museum of Art as well as
the de Saisset Museum at Santa Clara University.

Jenny Honnert Abell creates mixed media pieces, such as book covers and works
on paper or panel, embellished with natural depictions of birds and trees. Abell’s work
has been included in numerous art fairs, such as Art Chicago and Art Miami, and in many
solo and group exhibitions in galleries and museums around the country, including the
Berkley Art Center and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Santa Rosa.
The Stay ZaZa Art House & Social Gallery, located at 2400 McKinney Avenue, will
be open to the public Fridays and Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. For private showings
by appointment, or for more information and images, please contact Lizzie Herbert at
