About the ArtCube™
The ArtCube™ is a street-facing digital gallery that brings immersive, time-based art into the public realm.
Created by architect Ryan Young and curated by Pat Greene, the ArtCube™ was designed to activate urban space and make contemporary art accessible to everyone—any time of day.
The Prototype
Located on the West Church Corridor in Orlando's Parramore District, the ArtCube™ is a permanent fixture in Interstruct’s redevelopment efforts and part of a growing conversation about thoughtful, community-connected placemaking.
Each installation is temporary, site-aware, and created in collaboration with emerging and established artists. Between exhibitions, the INTERmission series features short-form video art from around the world, utilizing the full capabilities of the ArtCube's integrated technology.
At its core, the ArtCube™ invites people to pause, look closer, and experience the city a little differently—while growing a creative community around the shared experience of public art.

For Developers, City Planners, Architects, and Place Makers
What is the ArtCube™?
The ArtCube™ is a shipping container micro-gallery designed to showcase multimedia, light-based, and video-driven public art. Outfitted with integrated high-tech AV equipment, it provides a 24/7 street-facing art experience. Originally launched in Orlando’s Parramore district, the ArtCube™ is the centerpiece of Parramore Arts—a gallery without walls supported by Interstruct Design + Build.
The ArtCube™ demonstrates how a small footprint can have a big impact on urban space, inviting passersby to pause, look closer, and experience their city differently.
Is the ArtCube™ a proven model?
Yes. The first ArtCube™ in Parramore has become a powerful tool for community engagement, placemaking, and cultural storytelling. Its success demonstrates the potential for replicating this concept in other cities, districts, and developments that prioritize active public space and creative identity.
Curious if it could work in your district or development? Start a conversation with Ryan Young to explore the possibilities.
Who curates the ArtCube™?
Each ArtCube™ is independently programmed. While the original cube is co-curated by Pat Greene and the team behind Parramore Arts, new installations in other communities will be curated locally—either by project partners, local arts organizations, or a designated curator.
We are exploring options to offer curated content as a service, including potential digital art licensing or programming packages.
Do we need to handle our own programming?
Yes—each partner site will take ownership of its own programming. That could mean collaborating with local artists, arts councils, or curators. We are developing optional tools to support this, including:
- Programming templates
- INTERmission-style content loops for gaps between exhibitions
- Best practices for curation and community engagement
Want help thinking through programming options? Reach out to discuss what early support might look like.
How much space is needed?
The ArtCube™ is a modified 20’ shipping container and requires:
- A 20' x 8' level concrete pad (minimum 6" thick with steel reinforcement; exact specs provided in the technical sheet)
- 100 amp, 120/240V single-phase power service
- Street-facing placement for public visibility
- Clearance for crane and flatbed delivery
- Local permitting as needed
A full technical spec sheet is available upon request and should be reviewed in collaboration with the Interstruct team during the planning phase.

What kind of content does it show?
The ArtCube™ can be programmed with a wide range of digital and multimedia content. In Orlando, we’ve focused on quarterly artist installations paired with a rotating video art series called INTERmission. Other cities may use the Cube for community storytelling, student showcases, cultural partnerships, or neighborhood-specific narratives.
The format is flexible. The goal is always the same: make contemporary art accessible, site-specific, and part of everyday life.
What support is provided by the ArtCube™ team?
We act as your partner in:
- Site assessment and placement planning
- Fabrication coordination
- AV system integration and onboarding
- Operational startup
We do not manage ongoing content, artist relations, or promotional work, though we may offer optional resources to support those efforts. Use of the name "ArtCube™" and branding assets will be determined in alignment with our trademark strategy.
Want to talk through what onboarding looks like? Connect with us to hear how we support early-stage partners.
Is it mobile?
Technically yes—but relocation requires crane and flatbed coordination. It is relocatable, not portable. The ArtCube™ is intended as a semi-permanent installation.
What is the lead time to bring an ArtCube™ to our project?
Typical lead time is 3–6 months, depending on fabrication schedules, permitting, and your local team’s readiness.
Note: Technical details and delivery timelines should be reviewed with Ryan Young and the Interstruct team.
