About RedLine Contemporary Art Center
Founded in 2008, RedLine is a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting emerging artists and providing creative opportunities for local residents.
We work to provide equitable access to the arts for under-resourced populations and grassroots organizations. This includes cultivating diverse communities of emerging artists to use socially-engaged art as a tool for positive change.
RedLine has launched more than 130 resident artists, engaged more than 10,400 students at under-resourced schools, provided space and resources for dozens of artists who are unhoused or experiencing hardship, and responded to community needs with creative solutions.

RedLine’s facility of 22,000 square feet includes a main exhibition hall with 12-15 curated exhibitions per year, 18 resident artist studios (a two-year residency program that includes free studio space), a Community Studio for educational programing and community events, a Project Space responsive to evolving artist event and exhibition programming, and a library with a collection of over 8,000 books on art and art history.
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 seasoned, with these strategic program areas:
With a history of responding to local societal needs through artistic interventions, RedLine is an essential and profoundly connected member of Denver's creative ecosystem and the go-to resource for professional artists and local communities to create positive social change.
