Joshua Marc Levy, 423 is an award-winning, independent art director, designer, illustrator and fine artist living in Asheville, NC. He has produced album covers, posters, and merchandise for artists including AC/DC, Grateful Dead, The Black Crowes and local bands such as The Fritz, Velvet Truckstop and most recently The Broadcast. Joshua has shown his artwork at galleries in New Jersey, New York City and Asheville, NC. He currently shows his work at ZaPow Gallery in downtown Asheville. 

Joshua is teaming up with Martin Coyle of Blotter Art Company to produce his first ever, limited edition blotter art prints “Dosed Tigers,” “Special,” “When Is Now,” and “Go To Heaven”. Blotter art is a recognized form of folk art and is highly collectable. This type of art has transcended the underground market and is available to collectors worldwide. These strictly limited signed editions of 150 were printed on press using the highest quality archival paper and ink. 

Please join us on Friday May 31st, at Zapow art gallery from 6 - 8pm for an unveiling, signing and numbering of the artworks. Meet the artist and dance to a free experimental live set of music by The Jamar Woods Experience, Featuring members of The Fritz, Asheville’s high-energy funk and rock band (6-8pm). FREE.

Think of us as a brick and mortar Con...

Unlike at a Con we do all of the work and we charge lower booth fees & commission.

How does an artist become a part of ZaPow?
We are a collection of talented artists. We handle the sales for you and take a very small 15% commission. (vs. the typical 50% commission of most galleries). In place of large commissions, we charge a membership fee and encourage artists 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 their wall space, we invite our artists to participate in group shows on our front wall.

Membership fees are dependent on how much space you wish to have in the gallery. The prices and sizes below reflect what is currently available. 

2' x 6' wall section - $65 monthly Membership fee
3’ x6’ wall section - $85 monthly Membership fee
4' x 6' wall section -  $115 monthly Membership fee
4' x 6'' end cap  - $125 monthly Membership fee
6’ x6 wall section - $135 monthly Membership fee
8' x 6'  whole wall -  $180 monthly Membership fee
