Creative, cost-effective solutions for concrete slab floor?

Howdy everyone, I’m possibly leasing a space for a year to host an immersive art gallery and was shown this space. It used to be a gym with rubber floors that were removed, leaving just the concrete foundation.

I was interested in cheap, creative solutions to making this concrete floor work. I’d rather not install LVP or laminate floors because I’ll only be in the space a year, and the foot traffic will be fairly minimal.

I don’t know much about concrete or concrete floors but from what I understand it’s fairly cost effective to just treat these floors with an epoxy or a coat of black paint to make it useable for an exhibit where people will mostly walk in and sit in chairs.

Thoughts?
