Portable On Demand Art  (P.O.D.A.) 2011

The P.O.D.A. Project was first revealed on May 19, 2011 at Discovery Green and after six weeks at the park the containers were moved to six Neighborhood Centers, Inc. locations throughout Houston. Throughout 2011 P.O.D.A traveled to Friendswood Public Library, the Bayou City Arts Festival and The University of Houston. Locations and hours were continuously updated via our website, www.PortableOnDemandArt.com/location

The P.O.D.A. Project was a temporary public art exhibition which featured the work of Aerosol Warfare, BOX 13 ArtSpace, Jillian Conrad, The Joanna, Lynne McCabe, Gabriel Martinez, Metalab, and Anthony Shumate. Each artist or collective of artists uniquely transformed a PODS® container into a work of art that explored the cultural, ecological, political, scientific and socio-economic forces shaping Houston’s aspirations for the future and showcases our city as a vibrant arts and cultural capital and museum mecca for locals and visitors alike.
