Summer’s heating up—and so are your ideas. Whether you're launching a product, throwing a community event, or just looking for an excuse to bring your brand offline and into real life, a summer pop-up is the move. And lucky for you, Dottiewood Studios is the perfect place to make it all happen.
Here’s why Dottiewood is where your pop-up dreams turn into real-life magic:
Why Dottiewood Is Built for Pop-Ups
Let’s start with the basics: our space is ready for just about anything.
Open layout: Move things around to create flow for your guests, vendors, or displays.
Strong A/C game: It’s Texas—we take climate control seriously.
Street-level access + parking: No stairs, no stress, and easy loading in and out.
Fully equipped kitchen + lounge: For snacks, sips, or just a little behind-the-scenes glam.
Dressing rooms + storage: Because even events need a greenroom moment.

Summer Vibes, Customized
You’ve got the vision—we’ve got the tools to bring it to life.
Dot’s Props is your secret weapon: flowy fabrics, chic vases, colorful drinkware—you name it.
Let the natural light pour in, or black it out for a moody, curated feel.
Set the tone with cute touches: a lemonade station, branded popsicles, or floral ice buckets (yes, it’s a thing).
