Digital guides for galleries and art fairs

Pladia helps commercial galleries, art fairs, and pop-up exhibitions deliver digital guides that make it easy for visitors to navigate, discover artists, and access artwork details instantly. Our browser-based Progressive Web Apps (PWA) provide maps, event programs, and curated content in one place.

Enhance art discovery and visitor flow

Large art fairs and galleries can feel overwhelming, with hundreds of artworks and exhibitors to explore. Visitors simply scan a QR code to open Pladia’s browser-based digital guide, making it easy to see what’s on, plan their route, and find the artists or galleries they’re most interested in.

Showcase artists and collections in depth

Digital object labels and mobile guides let visitors explore artist biographies, artwork details, pricing information, and purchase inquiries on their own device. This empowers guests to engage privately and at their own pace while giving galleries tools to follow up post-visit.

Connect every booth, room, and exhibition area

Large art fairs and multi-level gallery spaces can be hard to navigate. Pladia’s Pathways feature gives visitors clear, landmark-based directions between booths, viewing rooms, and exhibition areas, helping them see more art with ease.

Digital labels for richer artwork details

Pladia’s Digital Labels replace crowded wall text with rich and accessible content. Visitors scan a QR code to view artist details, materials, dimensions, pricing, and related works in their browser, creating a cleaner gallery space and a more private, flexible viewing experience.
