PODS® Containers were transformed into mini art galleries. The containers, each one uniquely created, were placed and weaved through Downtown and Ventura’s West End to better connect the more than two dozen gallery spaces. The containers have been generously donated by PODS® Moving & Storage and owner Steve Yapp.
