RedLine Contemporary Art Center
Located in Denver, Colorado, RedLine Contemporary Art Center fosters education and engagement between artists and communities, ensuring equitable access to the arts for historically marginalized populations and grassroots organizations, and cultivating diverse communities of emerging artists to use socially-engaged art as a tool for positive change.
Founded in 2008, RedLine has engaged more than 12,000 students from under-resourced schools in the Five Points neighborhood of Denver, provided space and resources for dozens of artists who are unhoused or experiencing hardship, has launched more than 125 resident artists, and has provided creative solutions to multiple additional community needs.
Applying a community-responsive model by first listening to our local communities, we co-create innovative solutions to social challenges alongside artists young and old, housed and unhoused, emerging and established, with these strategic program areas: Artists-in-Residence Program, Arts Education, Exhibitions, Community Programming, Regranting, and Creative Place-keeping.
