How to Prepare for London Art Fairs with Accessible Storage

From Frieze London to the British Art Fair and local independent events, there’s always a creative buzz that sweeps the capital in the autumn. If you are a PR agency or events company, your planning and preparation will cover more than artworks. With a whole host of exhibition components and logistics to also consider, we look at the benefits of accessible storage for art fairs.

Why Accessible Storage Matters When Preparing for an Art Fair         

Having access to a flexible storage facility will enable you to retrieve your items as and when you need them. At Stockroom London, we can also offer a convenient workspace within our storage facility to help you prepare for an art fair. Based in the heart of the capital, you can pack, sort and organise your items close to major events, and we can provide transport too.

What Art Fair and Event Materials Need Storing?

Although most artists keep their works close to hand, the challenge arises when you need somewhere to store supporting exhibition components. From plinths, partitions and packing materials to promotional banners, these can all take up a lot of space in your office. You might also need storage for lighting, equipment and toolkits to construct exhibition stands. If your event features large-sized pieces, you might need to store crates for transit. 

Why Drive-Up Access Helps with Art Fair Preparation

Many storage companies offer inaccessible units, where items are stored deep within a large warehouse or on high racking. At Stockroom London, you can view your items on our online inventory and arrange easy access to retrieve or prepare your items. 

Easier Loading and Unloading

Whether using your own transport or one of our GPS-tracked vehicles, arrangements can be made for you to collect and deliver items as needed.

Convenient Access to Event Materials

Your items will be stored within a secure dedicated zone at our Central London facility. When you arrange access, we can place them within a convenient workspace, so you can easily sort and prepare your items. Instead of trying to organise your artists’ exhibition materials in the confines of your office, you can get everything ready close to your event.

Using Storage as Part of Your Art Fair Logistics 

Using an accessible storage facility for art fair components should be a key part of any PR agency or events company’s logistics strategy. A flexible provider like Stockroom London will enable you to store and transport exhibition materials around the capital. All you need to do is pack your items and our team will take care of the rest.
