The A Show 2018
celebrates the work of Platform A artists and art collectives who inspire, explore, and create art in extraordinary places and in extraordinary ways. The multidisciplinary works presented this year emerge from practices of attentive listening, placemaking, soul searching, and above all, community building. If art is understood as the creation of beautiful things, this year’s A Show demonstrates that beauty is made in moments of togetherness, in challenging barriers, and in making a little go a long way.
The A Show 2018 occurred June 8 - 10th, 2018 with an artist talk on June 10th.
