Creating a Mobile Gallery in a Storage Container With UNITS of Greenville

Published: January 15, 2023

Creating a pop-up art gallery in a storage container can be a unique and exciting way to showcase your art or that of others. This is especially a great opportunity for emerging artists who want to make a name for themselves but don’t have a permanent space. And with the help of a company like UNITS of Greenville, you can easily turn a storage container into a fully-equipped gallery space. 

Design for Your Designs 

Start by thinking about what you are showcasing and how you want to display it. Make a small sketch of how you want your pop-up gallery space to work. Keep in mind that while you cannot permanently alter the container, you can use removable shelves, hooks, and tape to display your artwork. Consider the size of your art in relation to the container as well, and plan the placement of your artwork, lighting, and furniture to make the most of the space.

Illumination, Heating, and Cooling

Proper lighting is crucial when showcasing artwork. You can get a portable floor spotlight or removable light strips to illuminate your work. And if you want to take your gallery to the next level, consider installing air conditioning or heating units to keep the temperature comfortable for guests and maintain the artwork in the best condition. UNITS also has a climate-controlled storage facility where you can hold your gallery opening if you prefer it to be inside or if it rains.

Aesthetics and Branding

Aesthetics and branding are important when creating a pop-up art gallery. You can use the walls and ceiling of the container to display artwork or your own branding and set up a stage for live performances or artist talks. You can get removable vinyl wraps to add a bit of flare to the walls and exterior of the container and to make it look more like a professional gallery rather than a storage container. If you are looking for commissions, make sure to have your contact information on a table or hand out business cards. It also does not hurt to have a little table of food to attract people to your work.
