A few days ago, Repainting the Future was invited to go to
Redline, a community art center and museum in downtown
Denver. We brought three panels for their community art
day and anyone from the public could add to it! There were
several art stations with various mediums, including water
color, printing making, origami, and, of course, acrylic mural
painting.
According to their website, Redline combines education and training, and the emotional benefits of connectivity, respect, and satisfaction. It encourages artistic growth where artists can "cross the red line" to lose the inhibitions that may hold them back. They can gain support systems to excite them and help their artistic goals. Redline makes a point to state that artists are "held accountable to share their experiences and their personal creativity with the community". It's also a place where many homeless and low income individuals come to hang out, use supplies, and explore their talents.
It's also free! It's located at 2350 Arapahoe Street. There schedule is:
Monday Closed
Tuesday - Sunday 10:00am - 5:00pm
