PLATTEFORUM ANNOUNCES 2018/2019 RESIDENT ARTISTS

We are pleased to announce that our 2018/2019 Artist Residency program will include six artists hailing from across the country including Brooklyn, Boston and Baltimore, as well as three Denver-based artists this year. PlatteForum’s Resident Artists have been chosen through a competitive national selection process and will each spend five to eight weeks in residency with PlatteForum in the coming season. A cornerstone of the work PlatteForum brings to Denver’s cultural community, the Artist Residency program supports contemporary artists as they work, strengthening their individual practice through collaboration and community engagement.Each residency will conclude with a free, public reception of the artist’s work, which represents their collaborative experiences with PlatteForum’s ArtLab interns, who have been led in weekly workshops by the resident artist during their time in residency.PlatteForum’s 2018/2019 Artist Residency line-up is as follows:

• Sept/Oct 2018: Esther Hernandez (Denver, CO)
• Nov/Dec 2018: Alex Branch (Brooklyn, NY)
• Feb/March 2019: Maria Molteni (Boston, MA)
• April/May 2019: JP Allen (Baltimore, MD) and Katy Batsel (Denver, CO)
• June/July 2019: Jessica Forrestal (Denver, CO)
