RedLine engages approximately 15–20 artists at any given time who remain “in residence” for a two or three year period. In exchange for a small stipend artists receive studio space and mentoring from three to four accomplished artists per year who may be “in residence” or may be guests of RedLine on a more intermittent basis. Interactivity is a core element at RedLine: artists engage in healthy art criticism and vibrant debate as they grow together as artists and in the community. RedLine engages artists to particpate in various educational forums which allow them to learn new techniques and to hone their existing skills. The Artists in Residence Program is based upon an equitable selection process. In exchange, Artists in Residence are required to commit a minimum of 2 hours per week to community programs to provide community access to the artistic process and to share their artistic creations by working in their RedLine studios with the doors open to the public.

Justin Beard

It seems the more art I do, the more ideas and experiences I am exposed to. My process is a process of creation - I think of things, or stumble on things, and make things that I never thought could exist. Read More.

Donald Fodness

As an artist I use seemingly benign, somewhat enticing, imagery to draw my audience into a layered and unsettling world of complexities. Among the kitsch and banal I cram the gross, grotesque, obnoxious, and weird. Read More.

Sarah Scott

A papermaker and printmaker, Sarah works between two and three dimensions to make works that explore our relationship with the wonderment of nature, its sublimity, and humankinds’ trepidations of its disappearance, retaliation, and eventual loss or triumph. Read More.

Beau Carey

Beau Carey received his MFA in painting from the University of New Mexico in 2010. He has been painting for 10 years. His landscape based work focuses on liminal spaces; spaces that look at the ambiguous line between what is manmade and what is natural; spaces that lie between as they transition between one thing to the next, from farmland to a housing development, from a housing development to a vacant lot, from open space to a designated wilderness.

Gretchen Marie Schaefer

Gretchen Marie Schaefer was born in Denver, Colorado and received a bachelor’s degree in English and Visual Arts from Regis University. She is a current artist-in-residence at RedLine, Denver. and works at the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless. Gretchen's work evokes organisms and growth through indefinable figures. Similarities between macro and micro, internal and external allow her work to investigate relationship and difference. These relationships have moments of unease as the delicate, strange globs of shinny mass reference internal organs. Graceful, fragile, organic growth and ridged, mechanic systems co-occur and awkwardly balance. Organic objects made from synthetic materials heighten a sense of difference and these objects become specimens to be examined. Gretchen explores the tension that a thing can be strange, gross, awkward, while at the same time beautiful and astounding. Gretchen strives to communicate this through various media and processes including printmaking, film, painting, drawing and installation. Read More.

Terry Campbell

I have always been amazed by how a picture can tell a story without any words. I found great beauty could be made when the viewer is forced to ask questions. I create questions in my paintings by depicting people who exist in unfamiliar landscapes. It is my belief that people look within their own life and experience to give the painting they are look at meaning. I try to create landscapes that seem familiar to most but where no one can name the exact place. Read More.

Jaime Carrejo

Growing up on the U.S./Mexico border established my wonderment of deceptively benign, nonsensical sayings...like “buscale tres patas de gato” (looking for three cat legs)...[alluding] to a person focusing on a portion of something, and not the whole, short sight vs. foresight. This method of dialog made it possible to discuss serious topics through a filter or a buffer. Read More.
