When it comes to displaying art through galleries, the galleries are big rooms with plain white walls. This is because the art is the main focus of the exhibit so anything more would be considered a distraction. The location comes second to the art. There are some examples of artists going for a different backdrop to display their work. An example of this would be Thomas Kinkade, whose shop and gallery gives off a homely feeling to go with his art.

Places or Environments can be crucial to how the art is presented, whether the art has some form of significance to the surrounding area or are made from natural materials. An example of this is Patrick Dougherty whose work is mainly made from saplings, which he uses to create small structures such as houses.
