An inside look
At PlatteForum, youth and professional artists collaborate on long-term, intensive projects, where they explore a wide array of social issues together and take creative risks in a safe and inclusive environment.
In the process, youth participants develop academic, professional, social/emotional, leadership and personal skills that stay with them forever.
