The Elevate The Platform campaign that will support both The Platform and Global Arts Live and keep them thriving for decades to come. We believe that together, The Platform and Global Arts Live have the power to transform lives, build community, and create spaces where everybody belongs. Guided and anchored by Global Arts Live’s values of access, inclusivity, support, and community, The Platform was created as a welcoming cultural hub where artists, audiences, and organizations can come together, connect, and thrive.  

Your Gift Will Bring Help Bring The Platform to Life 

To bring this vision fully to life, we set a Phase One goal of raising $15 million by December 31. Thanks to early supporters, we have already raised $13.5 million—90% of the goal! Building on that momentum, we have added a Phase Two goal of $5 million by December 2028, bringing the campaign total to $20 million. This extraordinary progress reflects a shared belief in the vision and impact of both The Platform and Global Arts Live. 

With your support, we can:  

• Launch and sustain The Platform with a strong foundation for operations, programming, and community impact. 

• Present more than 400 events each year—from music, dance, theater, film, and talks to festivals and community gatherings. 

• Offer artists and nonprofit organizations subsidized and free rental opportunities in a region where affordable performance and rehearsal space is urgently needed. 

• Create paid internships and workforce development opportunities for the next generation of arts leaders. 

• Keep The Platform welcoming, accessible, resilient, and responsive to our community for years to come 

 Global Arts Live and The Platform are deeply grateful to these generous supporters.
