Traveling Exhibitions: Panel Loan Program
Soul Box Installations will Fit your Space
Modular, easy-to-install panels are the primary components of our exhibits. Strands, piles, and spills can add visual texture to panel walls and columns.
How Panels Become Exhibits
1 display panel is:
- 4 feet high x 2 feet wide
- 98 Soul Boxes, the approximate number of daily gunfire deaths in the U.S.
2 panels or more can:
- be suspended
- attach to a wall
- form columns
- join with Velcro
- extend vertically and horizontally
Also available with panels:
- PR materials, signage, videos
- Soul Box strands
- loose Soul Boxes to augment the number you can make on-site
Soul Box Exhibits Make it Possible to See & Feel Incomprehensible Statistics
How Many Soul Boxes Should You Exhibit?
We can recommend a number that fits your space and is meaningful for your location.
For example…
any organization in St. Louis can visualize the approximate number of
- Injuries by guns in St. Louis (2020) or
- Suicides by gun in Missouri (2019)
Any museum, church, or community center with 128 square feet of wall space can represent
- One week of U.S. gunfire deaths and injuries

Exhibit Components & Combinations
In this behind-the-scenes video learn how our exhibit components fit different venue configurations.
Walls and Columns
Soul Box panels attach seamlessly in stackable rows.
Walls: Single & Double Rows
Wall panels activate an unexpected exhibit space.
Walls: Single Rows
Soul Box panel modules connect seamlessly.
Walls: Double Rows
A double-stacked row creates an impressive 8′-high expanse.
Columns
Combine walls and columns to shape a dynamic, immersive environment that draws visitors through your space.
Canopies
Canopies define smaller, intimate spaces. Span short distances with overhead spills of loose Soul Boxes. A simple pipe & drape structure supports this configuration of 4 columns and a canopy.
Walls: Double-sided
Two-sided walls can direct visitor flow through an open space. Hang panels back-to-back from a ceiling or from a pipe & drape structure to create rooms or pathways viewable from both sides.
Strands, Spills, and Piles
Increase impact and visual variation.
Strands of Boxes
Add some variation in texture to your exhibit and attract attention from a distance by suspending Strands overhead from the ceiling.
Spills of Loose Boxes
Boxes made by your volunteers and local outreach partners can be installed as spills on tables, pedestals, low platforms or clean floors (with some protection from feet).
Piles of Loose Boxes
For more dramatic impact, we can provide 100s or 1000s of loose Soul Boxes.
Complete the Visitor Experience
Invite guests to take action.
Guide them with customized signage, “how to” flyers and videos.
Make a Soul Box! Action Station
Give visitors the opportunity to take action, experience the healing, honor a loved one, and share their thoughts. Include a table with materials and instructions to Make a Box within the exhibit space. We’ll provide printable signage, video links, and materials list.
Watch Participation Grow
Your visitors will make Soul Boxes. Save space for their contributions. Here, Soul Boxes fill a basket in a window visible to passers-by.
Exhibit Signage and Video
When you decide to host an exhibit, we will provide PDFs you can print in the size and materials best for your space.
We can help you customize messages so the number of Soul Boxes on display illustrates statistics relevant to your city, state, or our entire nation. Details above

The Soul Box Project is visually stunning. I love how it opens the door for thoughtful conversations. —Marlene, Jacksonville, OR
