RedLine’s Educational Partnership Initiative for the Creative (EPIC) Arts program provides a platform for RedLine Resident Artists to work in collaboration with educators from Denver area K-12 schools to implement an experiential curriculum that creates a body of artwork through a lens of contemporary social justice.  Through the partnership, artist and educator team up to create a new way of delivering instruction that combines artistic practice with the instructional and learning needs of the teacher and her/his students.  EPIC Arts empowers young people to become active interpreters within their own unique art practice alongside a professional artist both in and outside of the classroom.  The art making process and resulting artwork becomes a medium through which young people can hone their critical thinking, communication and collaboration skills and express their unique perspective and ideas about today’s world.
