Because one size doesn't fit all
At Public Display Agency, we know artists and audiences thrive in different environments. That’s why we created two distinct, curated event styles. 0ne refined and focused, the other bold and high-energy. Same level of professionalism. Same creative standards.

FORM
FORM is curated, modern, and conversation-driven. Ideal for artists who want deeper engagement and a clean, professional presentation. No live performances or fashion shows, but elevated setups, thoughtful art, and meaningful dialogue. Great for connecting with collectors and generating sales in a refined atmosphere.

FUNCTION
FUNCTION is bold, high-energy, and immersive designed for artists who thrive in dynamic environments. It features live music, performances, and a bustling marketplace. Perfect for maximizing exposure, making quick sales, and connecting with a wide, energetic audience.
Participation Options
We believe in making art accessible to all. Our flexible pricing options ensure that every artist, regardless of financial background, has the opportunity to showcase their work.
WORK EXCHANGE PROGRAM
The PDA Work Exchange Program lets you contribute your time and skills in exchange for credit toward future events.Whether you’re working remotely, supporting on-site, or offering something unique, you’ll earn $25/hour toward your next PDA show.It’s flexible, collaborative, and a great way to stay connected to the community while making your next event more affordable.
