The Incheon Art Platform, which supports creative activities and exchange of artists through old buildings long before modern times, operates small and large exhibitions and performances for artists to show off their skills to the fullest, and various creative education programs. It contains the artistic process of change of various artists that cannot be categorized through things such as genre, nationality or backbround, just like how the urban characteristics of Incheon that hae come and gone like the high and low tides of contemporary culture seem to prove they are still valid.

The Incheon Art Platform now plans to present the artoworks of the artists it worked with to the world through the Platform Artists 2011 contains the painful but joyous passions and desires of art in a small studio that remembers the matrix of creation, and a hot exhibition hall and performance hall.

The Incheon Art Platform plans to continue new, creative strategies so the visions and aspirations of many artists can turn itno reality.'
