When Polka Dot Art Gallery was shut four months ago, its founder Lara Kay had to look to hosting pop-up shows. The gallery that was once located inside The Souk on Dagoretti road was forced to close down due to the ongoing road construction projects. It has turned out to be a blessing in disguise for Lara who has able to attract new art audiences through these monthly pop-up exhibitions.
Pop-up shows, which are held at temporary venues, have gained popularity in the arts world. Some of the pop-up art gallery ideas include malls, hotels and streets, goes to where people are. Lara held her past exhibitions in hotels. She is taking her latest to Ikigai- a shared workspace in Westlands.
