A pop-up space is a temporary venue that can be quickly set up and taken down, often used for short-term events, exhibitions, retail shops, or creative projects. They come in three main types: 

• Freestanding pop-up spaces are designed for long-term leases, offering a more permanent setup.
• Semi-permanent pop-up spaces are ideal for shorter leases, requiring less investment for setup than freestanding options.
• Temporary pop-up spaces are the most cost-effective for short-term leases or special events.

• Art galleries and studios offer a stylish backdrop for exhibitions, product launches, or intimate gatherings.
• Restaurants or cafes are perfect for pop-up dining experiences, tastings, or workshops with their built-in kitchen and bar area.
• Unique venues are any space that offers a one-of-a-kind experience that complements your pop-up theme such as rooftop spaces, lofts, historical buildings, warehouses, and gardens.
• Storefronts are a classic choice for showcasing and selling products. If visibility is key, look for high-foot-traffic areas.
