ZAP Products
We work with one hundred artists in the community of Weya, Zimbabwe, and we receive artwork continuously throughout the year from these artists. Each piece of artwork that comes to us is completely unique. At the moment, we do not have the time or energy to maintain a gallery that would do justice to each of the artists. For this reason, we currently do not do web sales.
We do travel throughout the United States to hold exhibits and lectures, so please visit our events page to see if there might be an event happening near you. If there is not an event scheduled, consider organizing an event in your home town! See the Get Involved page for more information on how to organize an event.
We do offer items for art lovers without wall space - please scroll down to see the products that you can order from us. To purchase, please send a check made out to “ZAP” to 107 SE Washington St Ste 162, Portland, OR 97214.

ZAP Puzzle
This is a 500 piece puzzle based on a painting by Ajasi Alama. For each puzzle we sell, two textbooks will be donated to rural schools in Weya. It costs $18 plus $3 postage.
The Guinea Hen Lady Book
ZAP’s wonderful friend Sam Tyler has created for us a beautiful full-color book based on a painting by Weya artist Enesia Nyazorwe. Enesia died of AIDS-related causes in December, 2003, leaving three children. This book will be used to raise money to keep Enesia’s children, and others like them, in school.
The painting tells the magical tale of a man finding a woman caught in his guinea fowl trap. The story of the woman and her guinea fowl friends unfolds in the pages of this accordion-style book, using the words which Enesia herself wrote on the back of the painting. The book has been beautifully printed and is hand-assembled.
ZAP is selling the book for $10 (plus $2.50 per book for shipping). They also make great gifts, so please think about ordering 5 books for $40 (plus $9.00 shipping). As a result of a very generous anonymous donation underwriting the production costs of the book, fully 98% of the sales price from each book will go directly to keeping orphaned children in school.
