Gallery Space Event Must-Haves
A few aspects can make one studio space perfect over another. Giggster can help companies and individuals find a listing that perfectly matches their vision. Here are some must-have features to remember when looking for art exhibit spaces in New York or any other city.
Will you need to hire event staff and docents? In addition to the rent, transport, and logistics, you should consider the staff and docents. They can provide information about the artwork, fashion pieces, or photos.
Where will you set up the food and beverages? The museum may have a specific area where food and drinks are allowed. However, a park or outdoor space will require a custom setup tailored to the environment.
Does the space have wayfinding? Many galleries have passages guiding visitors to various exhibits with the help of proper signage and wayfinding. You will need additional signage to host a book launch or unveil artwork installations.
Pros and Cons of Events at Gallery Spaces
There are many reasons to plan a gathering in an exhibition hall and make it the talk of the town. However, like with any event setting, there are merits and demerits to consider.
Advantages
-
Art exhibit spaces have plenty of history adorning the walls. Such beautiful work provides an impressive setting to stage shows or celebrate a special occasion.

Networking events, receptions, product launches, and other get-togethers are just some of the functions you can comfortably plan here.

These creative places are visually appealing and ideal for film production, photo shoots, and entertainment.
Disadvantages
-
Art exhibit spaces are pretty distracting. The artwork wall can be a major distraction if you plan a reception or product launch.

There may be noise or distractions if other exhibits or shows are on simultaneously.
Planning Your Gallery Space Event
Art galleries are unique spaces for pop-up events, performances, conventions, and video shoots. Giggster handles the location support, so explore our art exhibit spaces and use these tips to plan a stand-out function.
Pick the Exhibit Space You Need – Rent a museum for a workshop or video shoot and an exhibition hall for a convention or auction. It's helpful if the location offers access to other spaces for different activities.
Rent an Event Space With Necessary Facilities – Renting the right venue with all the necessary facilities and amenities completes half your work. Contact the property owner and ask if the location can hold your function.
Hire Vendors – It's a plus if the establishment has an in-house caterer, lighting technicians, a cleaning crew, a security team, and photography or film crews. If the location doesn't have the professionals you need, get external vendors.
Document Everything – Document your week-long series of exhibits, a dance show, or a reception. There's no better photo or video shoot setting than an art-filled location. Record the entrance, key highlights, the show, people, and sound bites. Use the images for marketing purposes or create social media posts.
How to Save Money on a Gallery Space Rental
Natural light, wall space, and a mostly bare appeal make art spaces perfect creative backdrops. Giggster can help you find suitable settings for your next event that won't drain your bank account. Here are a few tips to save money and still put on a show!
Can you book a small venue?
Art exhibitions are flexible and also come in all shapes. A cozy location costs less than a massive room. You can easily find event spaces that suit your requirements on the Giggster app, with rents starting as low as $20.
Can you choose minimalist decor?
The beauty is in the artwork. You will probably not require a lot of decor to make the place look pretty. Please pay attention to the lighting; it can make your event backdrop look high-end without costly furniture or equipment.
Can you reserve an off-peak time?
Ask property owners about off-peak dates and if you can get a lower rental rate on those days. Weekdays, mornings, and afternoons are good time slots for cheaper rent. The location may charge higher during the weekend and the holiday season.
Plan a Successful Gallery Event with Giggster
Peruse the listings on our app and book a location that fits all your requirements. Host your next memorable event in a beautiful space, whether a modern and contemporary art space in downtown Los Angeles with plenty of natural light or an artist's hidden gem in Brooklyn.
