how it all began...

It all began in San Francisco in 2002-2003.  A group of out of work creative dot comers got together with an innovative idea of what viewing art could be.  Well, not just viewing art, but experiencing art – visual art, film, fashion, sound & performance.  And the art party events were born.

All it took was one visit to a Platform event in SF for the vision to travel cross county to Florida.  And the Florida Platform was hatched in fall of 2003.  For the past 6 years more and more people have been following Platform to surprising venues all over town.  Today Platform is the highest attended art event in Polk County.  Platform was voted the best art event of 2008 by readers of Arti-i-facts Magazine.

Platform Art is unique and non-traditional in its approach to exhibiting art and experiencing art in its many forms.  Each show presents artwork and performances that ZING the imagination.  Platform shakes off the old perceptions that “art is stuffy”. 

Platform Art is anything but stuffy. Come see for yourself.
