“Other program services 4: artist in residency program: redline's artist in residence program is a socially engaged residency platform through which emerging artists receive a two-year fully subsidized studio space in a multi-faceted arts environment where art, education, and community converge. Artists apply and receive free studio space after a three-tiered application process that illustrates their need for space (based on their financial situation) and commitment to engaging, sharing, and supporting arts accessibility in the community. In return for the subsidized space, redline provides career development, networks and professional opportunities. On average, 95% of the artists redline serves through the residency program are below the colorado median income for 2 person households. Artists-in-residence participate in redline's community/education programs by sharing their own artistic practice with under-resourced youth and adults. The residency provides mentorship from established local and visiting artists, curators, and directors.the open studio door aspect of the residency seeks to break down the wall that can oftentimes exist between engagement with the arts and community by making the connection between artist and visitor possible and fostered. Visitors are welcome to walk into each studio at redline and engage directly with the artist and the artist in turn gets to build their network of support through these fostered connections.also, through the artist residency program, emerging artists develop relationships with other artists in a collaborative setting that leads to healthy engagement and mutual support as each develops his, her or their own practice. In 2022, redline worked with alex blum and hannah agosta to launch the greene fellowship, which was a memorial fellowship that provided three - $28,000 fellowship awards to career-oriented artists. Fellows receive technical assistance around establishing a business, financial and budget planning support, as well as will participate in a culminating exhibition at redline in 2023 to demonstrate what bodies of work the fellowship helped to support. Over the past four years, redline has also responded to the need for outgoing resident artists and community-based artists with a satellite residency. This program is focused on increasing the inventory of affordable studio space in the denver metro area through strategic partnerships with developers, property owners and cultural organizations. Since launching the program, redline has secured 77 additional affordable studio and live/work(studio) spaces for artists. This programs has expanded to a statewide initiative, which has extended into rural communities like trinidad colorado at the east street school (providing 19 live/work studios for artists) and grand junction, where we will support in a consulting role to a community-driven process. In 2023, redline will look forward to working with denver arts & venues on this affordable space initiative. Exhibitions program: exhibitions at redline are informed by an open call for artists, curators and community members to submit proposals that help to inform a deep dive into a theme that emerges from our public proposal process. Each year redlines exhibition committee reviews proposals by visiting curators or artist representatives and then designs a calendar that situates exhibitions across a year that thematically align but highlight different perspectives on a central theme. In 2022/2023 exhibition year, redlines exhibition theme was roots radical, which explored the re-centering of indigenous voices; exhibitions included the work of jacob meders, gregg deal, arthur short bull, and new red order. Community: redline's community studio serves as a hub for practical and creative engagement for the community to convene and solve community challenges. Presently, redline's community studio has programmatic activity four of the six possible days a week that redline is open. Redline”
