Because the columns are only 20-30' apart, you could put a quad on each one and call it done.
If cost permits, make each location it's own circuit; it'll help prevent one artist's heater from tripping off another artist's work lights.
First item mentioned in 400.7 uses permitted is pendants.
You are correct on not using a handy box - it must be a box rated for pendant use.
If only a single receptacle is desired a basic cord connector is fine at the end.
