March is here, which means longer days, shifting seasons, and a calendar packed with exhibitions, opening receptions, and art events featuring RedLine Resident Artists, Alumni, and REACH Artists!
From work that explores diaspora and memory, celebrates Indigenous ecological knowledge, honors printmaking traditions, and imagines bold cultural futures, RedLine artists are sure to inspire, educate, and empower viewers this month.
Meanwhile here at RedLine, we’re excited for the kickoff of our spring photography exhibitions, YALLA: You’ll Never Walk Alone and UNSEEN.
YALLA explores solidarity and global movement building through the lens of soccer culture and international movement-building, while UNSEEN centers Colorado Palestinian families and challenges viewers to confront what it means to see our neighbors in their full humanity. Join us for the opening reception of both shows on opening Friday, March 13 from 7-9pm!
Below are our top 13 March art events featuring RedLine artists—in Colorado and beyond!

When: February 20-March 29, 2026
Artist Talk: Wednesday, March 18, 2026, 5-8pm
About the exhibition: Five years in, Black Futures in Art stands as a living testament to vision, community, and creative inheritance. What began as an idea has become a gathering—of artists, voices, families, and futures—woven together by joy, intention, and shared imagination.
This moment marks half a decade of presence, growth, and impact in Boulder County, carried forward with clarity and purpose.
Black Futures in Art holds the full spectrum of our becoming: art shaped by joy and transformation, radiance born of resilience, burden transmuted into brilliance.
About the artist: At an early age, I knew I wanted to be an artist when I grew up. My life has taken me in many directions from the very beginning. My Caribbean birth gave way to a New York-based childhood, then a New Mexican adolescence. I spent my early adulthood with students from all over the world, only to enter my twenties in the Marine Corps. It was one culture shock after another. Throughout that time, I maintained my love of art, and worked diligently to improve my skills.
I followed my interests, learning how to draw and paint the human form in ink, acrylic and watercolor. Leading up to and during art school, I learned all kinds of digital media, including Photoshop for digital painting and graphic design, Blender for 3D modeling and animation, and InDesign for book layout, to mention just a few. These are all skills I bring to bear when it comes to creating my artwork. Each tool and technique has influenced my style and my thought processes. As I continue to grow as an artist, I will continue adding more tools to my toolbox.

In recent years, Lee has used a distinctive paper-casting technique to create skin-like forms that echo everyday objects like luggage and table-ware.
Her “paper-skins” are a material that embodies memory, vulnerability, and resilience. They anchor her practice and serve as both shield and porous barrier, mediating between interior and exterior worlds while grounding explorations of migration, identity, and belonging

Ben Coleman: Hear/Here Group Exhibition
Where: The Denver Armory - 2565 Curtis St, Denver, CO, 80205
When: March 5-29, 2026
Opening Reception: Thursday, March 5, 6-8pm
About the exhibition: A sonic exhibition exploring the interconnection of sound, locale, and storytelling. “Identity is articulated through the places we occupy, but both are constantly changing.” - Jeremy Atherton Lin (Gay Bar: Why We Went Out, p.250) Grounded in sound-based work, Hear, Here. explores place, location, and storytelling, informed by the human experience and the imperfection of memory.
A tether to something once lived, felt, or imagined, sound operates less as documentation of an experience and more as the translation of a feeling—an attempt to carry emotion, atmosphere, and presence across time and space to the present moment.
About the artist: Ben Coleman is a British multi-disciplinary artist residing in Denver, CO. His practice is multidisciplinary, grounded in sound and performance, and often encompassing other media, including music, dance, video and installation.
Coleman grew up in theatre and music, and formed his first bands in London while simultaneously studying performance art. His performance and installation work retain the playful, participatory approach and scrappy DIY aesthetic that distinguished these scenes.
