Platform Gallery

Platform Gallery is a contemporary art gallery located in the Tashiro Kaplan Building in historic Pioneer Square District in Downtown Seattle. It was founded in 2004 by four artists, including Stephen Lyons, who is now sole owner. The gallery participates in the local First Thursday art walk along with galleries Greg Kucera, G. Gibson, James Harris, and SOIL Art Gallery. In art critic Regina Hackett's 2005 Seattle Post-Intelligencer article on Pioneer Square, she credits the galleries with contributing to the neighborhood's "core of cultural tolerance and open-minded experiment".[1] Platform is a member of the Seattle Art Dealers Association.[2]

The gallery has attracted attention for exhibitions of works on paper[3] as well as contemporary photography and sculpture.
