RedLine Resident Artist Application 2014

RedLine is a diverse urban laboratory where arts, education and community converge. The organization fosters forms of social practice in the arts that inspire inquiry and catalyze change.

The Resident Artist Program engages approximately 15–20 artists at any given time for a two-year residency period. As part of the residency, artists receive studio space and professional support from RedLine's staff and fellow residents. Artists will experience frequent studio visits with curators, art professionals, and people in the creative industries. Artists are invited to participate in various educational programs, community events, and exhibitions, which provide exposure to new techniques, networks, and community engagement. Artists working in all mediums are welcome to apply. Artists are responsible for outfitting their studio with the necessary tools to produce their works. RedLine does not have a wood shop, and use of toxic materials is only permitted outside of the premises.
