The Future of Flatform
We're empowering creators by evolving into a studio school to foster collaboration, community, and important conversations about our culture
Project Description
After three years, we're entering our next phase!
Flatform STUDIOS is evolving into a school that will be a hub for interactive learning, creative development, and cultural exploration with a living gallery, gift shop, open classroom, workshop, test kitchen, and agency office.
Flatform Studios is trailblazing the future of creative education: We're empowering creators, across disciplines to use their abilities and gifts to design a better future through culturally relevant training in theory, sketching, and techniques. By providing a resource for foundational learning, we will help develop a generation of confident creators who create inspiring, intentional, and impactful work.
Our members will have the ability to participate in our programming, rent our studio, and attend open studio hours so they can take ownership of their creative development while fostering community, collaboration, and conversations.
Your contribution(s) will allow us to:
- Establish and protect our school and curriculum
- Spread the word with marketing efforts
- Improve our studio to accommodate our new offerings
- Grow our team
- Produce and document events
- Establish our non-profit and work with the youth
- Keep our programming low-cost and accessible!
Our work has been featured in a number of publications, including this full-length feature by BMORE Art
Our founder, Kaya Gordon Levi is a graduate of the GDES program at Virginia Commonwealth University, named the #1 public arts program in the country!

Why is Flatform raising funds?
We're in our growing season! and are raising funds to launch our school. Funds will be used for operational costs, associated fees, supplies, registration, and supplemental help.
Is this all the funding you need?
