The ArtPark is located at 1930 35th Street. This RedLine Satellite is a unique, temporary (5-Year) opportunity to be in partnership with The Denver Public Library and the River North Art District to develop a campus of like-minded and community-driven organizations in the Globeville-Elyria-Swansea neighborhood.
The campus includes 8 artist studios that will be managed by RedLine and subleased to emerging and mid-career artists for one year with a one year option to renew. All artists are invited to apply and studios will be awarded through a community-selection process. Satellite Studios are not part of RedLine’s primary 2-year Artist-in-Residence program and thus that they are not fully-funded and require a $235/month rent per participating artist based on studio size. Participating artists will, however, will have access to the programmatic offerings, professional development and networking that RedLine’s residency provides including facilitation of open studio days, studio visits and programmatic opportunities. The Satellite Initiative is meant to support artists pre or post RedLine residency by providing an affordable studio option for Colorado-based artist. Studios range from 150 - 180 sq. Ft and will be available starting this November. Lease-terms will begin on November 1, 2024.
Eligibility: RedLine is prioritizing artists who have connections to the surrounding neighborhoods including Five Points, Globeville-Elyria-Swansea, Cole and Whittier. Artists should apply who are interested in this creative campus as an opportunity to collaborate with like-minded artists, the neighborhood and The Denver Public Library. Alto Gallery is RedLine's primary partner for operating the gallery space that the studios surround and presents monthly exhibitions on First Fridays. The River North Arts District and the Library also frequently hold programs and opportunities that artists at the ArtPark are able to participate in, if interested.
Requirements: The RedLine Satellite Studios require a one year lease with an option to renew for one year. Artists have to be willing to participate in an active community of artists and program partners that share the campus. RedLine Timeline:
