Linemen Appreciation Day
Lakeland Electric’s line workers have demonstrated their dedication and skills by winning numerous awards and competitions and deserve the appreciation of the Lakeland Community. It is most fitting and proper that the City of Lakeland set aside a special day to recognize and honor these dedicated professionals.
Sensory Salon – September 15
Platform Art, Inc. invites you to a Sensory Salon and Public Art Party for an evening of libations, entertainment, and information on our Sensory Sculpture, as we reveal the final three project concepts that have been selected for further development. You'll also have the opportunity to meet our project partners, including the artists, Becky Ault and Mike Cunningham, plus the student designers, landscape architects, and more!
Tribute to Linemen – Project Update
With a year having passed since the completion of Tribute to Linemen, we checked in with the student-designer winners, and their teacher, to see how the Linemen Project impacted their lives, perspectives, and our community.
Students Respond to Sensory Sculpture Call-to-Design
Students responded to the Platform Art Sensory Sculpture public art call-for-design competition with more than 20 constructed models representing one or more of the five senses. Several sculpture designs will be selected and presented to a panel of judges this fall for additional development.
Membership Party Thank You

Platform Kids 2019
It turns out that Lakeland’s best art party of the year isn’t at a gallery or even Artful Bowl, but the artists are just as talented – albeit a little shorter. Polk County’s K-12 student dancers, poets, and artists of all stripes put on an incredible show for this year’s PlatformKids.
