The ArtCube™ Gallery is proud to be recognized by the Downtown Orlando Partnership as a 2024 Golden Brick Awards finalist in the category of Public Works + Placemaking. This honor affirms what we’ve believed since the beginning: public art belongs on the street, in underserved communities, and embedded in the everyday experience of city life.
This recognition puts ArtCube™ alongside two other Interstruct-led community projects, as part of a larger mission to reinvest in the future of Downtown Orlando through public art, civic space, and cultural equity.
What is the ArtCube™?
The ArtCube™ is a custom-fabricated shipping container turned micro gallery, located at 814 W. Church Street in Orlando’s historic Parramore district. It’s the anchor project of Parramore Arts, a “gallery without walls” initiative supported by Interstruct, the architect-led design + build firm headquartered just steps away.
But it’s not just a container. It’s a platform—for artists, for community, and for redefining how public art is seen, shared, and experienced.

A Street-Level Strategy for Public Art
Designed to be accessible, flexible, and highly visible, the ArtCube™ creates a 24/7 public art experience in one of the city’s most historically overlooked corridors. It is part of Interstruct’s activation on the West Church Corridor, situated between Camping World Stadium and Inter&Co Stadium, a stretch long ripe for reinvention.
The exhibitions are curated by Pat Greene of The Corridor Project, who has brought work from notable Orlando-based artists including:
- Dawrby
- Delia Miller
- JJ the Artist
- Angel Rodriguez Lozada
- AJ Barbell
- Alexis Collum
- Peterson Guerrier
Each show opens with a public reception tied to Third Thursday Orlando—a Downtown Arts Orlando initiative—bridging Parramore and Downtown’s art scenes. Interstruct even provides a free community shuttle between Downtown’s Ford Kiene Building and the ArtCube™, reinforcing the idea that public art should be connective—geographically, culturally, and socially.

A Prototype for Placemaking
The ArtCube™ wasn’t built for one location or one moment in time. It was designed as a scalable model for cities, developers, and arts organizations looking to bring culture to the curb. With its small footprint, minimal infrastructure needs, and architectural clarity, it can be installed almost anywhere—bringing life to parking lots, vacant land, stadium districts, or redevelopment corridors.
“We’re not outside developers,” says Ryan Young, Interstruct CEO. “We live here, we work here, and we’re investing in the place we want our city to become.”
The 2024 Golden Brick Awards recognition reinforces that belief. That reinvestment. That strategy.
What's Next?
The dedicated ArtCube™ website is designed to share this model with other cities and cultural partners interested in rethinking how public art shows up in urban space. Our goal? To expand the ArtCube™ network to new corridors, communities, and creative coalitions.
Because placemaking doesn’t require massive budgets or master plans. Sometimes, it starts with one cube, one artist, and one corner of a city waiting to be seen.
