PlatteForum Artist Conversations will provide a platform for Resident Artists to share their work in expansive new directions, alighting conversation and critical dialogue. The event will bring people closer to the local artist talent, increasing their visibility and the depth of engagement with viewers. The conversation series will provide ArtLab Youth Interns with leadership and public speaking opportunities, along with connections to artists, activists, and experts from shared backgrounds. The broader Denver arts community will also have the opportunity to engage further with artists’ work and to participate in dialogue about issues pressing to our communities. PlatteForum’s community is primarily BILPoC, LGBTQIA+, low-income, and/or disabled/neurodivergent. ArtLab youth attend over 21 different area high schools (50% are Title 1), while Resident Artists come from Denver, the U.S., and sometimes international locations. This event will amplify youth and artist voices, connecting diverse and wide-ranging communities for a connective experience.
