As soon as the paint's dry in pop-up gallery 5&6's new space in Scottsdale, artist and gallery co-owner Joshua Rhodes says he and his crew can start hanging and installing the pieces for "Plastic Antics" -- their next show opening on March 10.

Rhodes and Dan Diaz, another local creative, founded 5&6 during the pop-up gallery movement in Scottsdale, when Bentley Calverley, Director of Bentley Gallery, and Craig Randich, Bentley Gallery's preparator, convinced a few of Marshall Way's building landlords to house artists and galleries at a reduced rate. (You can read more about Calverley and the pop up movement in Pop Art.)

Artists signed deals through Randich and Calverley that agreed to rent the spaces for limited time -- until businesses willing to pay the full amount signed leases.

Rhodes laughs and says he had a feeling his space was being looked by "space poachers" in mid-February (mostly because he says the guys would come in and look at the windows and flooring instead of the art on the walls).

So when the call came that a jewelry business was willing to pay the full rent space, he wasn't too surprised.
