RedLine Contemporary Arts Center
Denver, CO
RedLine’s design was developed around a unique model of artist residency. The most fundamental spaces within RedLine are ten generously sized studios for mid-career artists, and three larger studios for established artists. This design decision links into Redline’s imperative to have their artists interact and be part of a larger community At the core of the project is a central exhibition space, which regularly hosts shows by the RedLine artists as well as invited guests. The exhibition space is lit via a flexible track system attached to an overhead steel grid, which also permits sculpture to be hung from above. The lobby connects the exhibit space and artist studios to an education studio and a resource library – as well as an outdoor event patio.
