A few reasons why you should submit your art for a PopUp! Gallery

If you are a new, emerging or established artist, a pop-up gallery gives your work a chance to be seen and appreciated by new viewers.
If you are looking for new ways to reach a wider audience and to find new collectors of your work, a pop-up gallery connects you to local businesses who are interested in bringing art into the workplace and possibly starting or adding to a corporate art collection.
A pop-up gallery puts you in control of where your work is shown and to whom, allowing you to grow your name, while gaining valuable exhibition and art marketing experience.
Why not? If you’ve got art and need space why not circulate it in pop-up galleries where it will be seen and appreciated by potential collectors?
