WHAT IS PLATFORM 63?

Platform 63 began as a simple idea: to partner with physical spaces willing to open their walls to artists in exchange for creative activations that invite community in. What started as an exhibition partnership quickly grew into something much deeper.

**Over the summer, Platform 63** expanded into a community connector, a curatorial presence, and a *supportive framework for artists.*

It became a place where each artist received what they needed most—whether that was guidance, structure, encouragement, or space to develop their voice. The platform adapted case by case, meeting artists where they were and helping them move forward in ways that felt genuine and attainable.

Through all of this, Platform 63 celebrates both the individual maker and the collective moment. It offers room to grow, experiment, and be seen—while inviting audiences to explore their own relationship to creativity.

SPRING & SUMMER 2025 We Are ALL ARTIST

Our most recent exhibition, *We Are All Artists*, opened in April and ran through early October at Marie Wesley in Englewood. **Five women artists—**

working across mediums including metal, paint, photography, felt, calligraphy, and more—came together to share work, host demonstrations, lead conversations, and welcome the community into their creative worlds.

Throughout the summer, Platform 63 hosted a series of intimate and energetic events: **artist talks, live demonstrations, film previews, musical experiences, and gatherings rooted in expression and connection.**

**Visitors interacted with art in many forms**—visual, sonic, tactile—and were invited to reflect, respond, and remember their own creative roots.

**This show was a celebration of imagination,** skill, courage, experimentation, and return.

And while the next exhibition will feature new artists and new ideas, **we honor the incredible group that helped shape this first cycle.**

Where are we now?

Platform 63 is in a thoughtful moment of **reflection and planning.**

**After completing our first exhibition, we’re looking closely at what felt meaningful, what grew on its own, and what we want to nurture moving forward.**

**We’re now shaping the next exhibition,** guided by what this first experience revealed.

More will be shared as this next chapter unfolds.
