We’re thrilled to announce CPR News recently interviewed the artist and curator behind our new exhibition, Darrell Anderson: Risk & Change.
Risk & Change celebrates the life and work of Denver artist Darrell Anderson, whose impact extends far beyond the exhibition’s walls.
In the article, CPR Arts and Culture reporter Eden Lane beautifully captures the essence of Darrell Anderson's work, and the significance of his retrospective at RedLine.
“The journey that led Anderson to this moment is as colorful and diverse as his own artwork.”
Curated by the multi-talented John-Claude (J.C.) Futrell, the exhibition showcases Anderson's decades-long career as an artist, educator, and advocate, emphasizing the power of mentorship and community.
Futrell shares a personal connection with Anderson, which adds a deeply personal touch to his curation of the exhibition. The collaboration between these longtime friends spanned four months, during which they sorted through nearly four decades of Anderson's artwork.
The exhibition is more than a display of Anderson's work—it's a testament to the importance of mentorship and community in the arts. As RedLine’s Executive Director Louise Martorano notes, "This exhibition is a story of Darrell's mentorship and his contributions to young people. What better person to help share that story than someone who benefited from Darrell's mentorship?"
