Redline Artists-in-Residence Program

RedLine is a diverse urban laboratory where arts, education and community converge. The organization engages approximately 15–20 artists at any given time who remain "in residence" for a two or three year period. In exchange for a small stipend, artists receive studio space and mentoring from three to four accomplished artists per year. Interactivity is a core element at RedLine: artists engage in healthy art criticism and vibrant debate as they grow together as artists and in the community. RedLine engages artists to participate in various educational forums which allow them to learn new techniques and to hone their existing skills. Artists working in all mediums are welcome to apply including writers, filmmakers, performance artists, photographers, and visual artists. Each artist is responsible for outfitting their studio with the necessary tools to produce their works.

The Artists-in-Residence Program is based upon an equitable selection process. The entry fee is $30.00. Applicants may submit up to 22 artwork samples: up to 10 images, up to 6 audio files, and up to 6 video files. Required application materials include an artist statement (3000 character maximum), a letter to the jury addressing issues and concerns faced in your artistic career and why you consider yourself an emerging artist, a brief statement on how you may benefit from being an Artist-in-Residence at RedLine, a brief statement on career goals, current resume, current employment status, how you heard about the program, a paragraph describing community work or volunteer experience, and 2 letters of recommendation.
