PODS® containers transformed into mini art galleries at ArtWalk Ventura, July 19 - 20

For the 21st annual ArtWalk Ventura event, 15 PODS containers will be showcased as mini art galleries throughout the streets of Downtown and Ventura’s Westside Cultural District. This $20,000 donation has been made possible by Steve Yapp, owner of your local Tri-Counties PODS® container supplier, the weather proof and secure PODS containers will be placed throughout streets to connect two dozen art studios and galleries. From July 19 – 20, the PODS containers will be on display as pop-up PODS Galleries featuring over 20 local artists and their gallery spaces.

Renowned artist Uriel León will be designing one of the 15 PODS containers, which has been sponsored by Ventura County’s inspiring group of women called The Women of Jewelia. “The use of these PODS containers allow the artists who don’t have their own venue the ability to participate in this very important local event,” states León, owner of Momentum Collab.
