Business Testimonial:
“In order to officially announce Storably’s launch, we decided to have a pop-up gallery in our office space. What a great idea, right? There was just one problem: we didn’t have a single connection in the Philadelphia art scene. We tried Twitter, Craigslist, and other outlets, but we weren’t getting enough responses, and the responses we did get were low-quality. Finally, someone recommended us to Side Arts. It was super easy to post a request for artists, and even though it was last minute, we received a large number of responses. Even better, the responses were from high quality artists. Overall, our experience with Side Arts was excellent. We look forward to using them for all of our events.” – Brendan Lowry, Community Manager, Storably, a Philadelphia tech start-up.
