Press Release Summary: The National Portable Storage Association applauds the
Kaohsiung International Container Arts Festival, which uses portable storage
containers to express eco-art.

Press Release Body: KANSAS CITY, MO. (APRIL 23, 2008) - Portable storage containers
may not look like works of art, but then again beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Each year, international artists gather in Kaohsiung City, Taiwan\'s densest and
second largest city with a population of 1.5 million, for the Kaohsiung
International Container Arts Festival.

This visual arts exhibition aims to create a harmonious existence between humans and
nature through the \"Sustainable Cosmopolis: Eco-container Art Project.\" The
container is the main carrier of the artwork, and the festival integrates artistic
creation, exhibition, declaration, ritual and navigation in an attempt to broaden
the vision of local citizens, according to festival organizers.

\"In a world where eco-friendliness is growing ever-more important, annual festivals
like this one highlight how every day objects can be used to create abstract art,\"
said John Finnessy, CMP, Executive Director of the National Portable Storage
Association, or NPSA, a nonprofit membership association dedicated to the
advancement of the portable storage industry. \"I\'ve seen some of the artistic
creations made from portable storage containers. It\'s tremendous.\"

Festivals like the one in Taiwan prove how portable storage is sustainable. There
are many uses for portable storage, from housing to office space and from fire
rescue training facilities to traditional storage. Like many vendors in the
industry, participants in the Kaohsiung International Container Arts Festival are
exploring new possibilities for these containers. The NPSA applauds the annual
festival that seeks to open dialogue between Kaohsiung and other harbor cities of
the world while using the container as a medium for artists.
