The abhorrent ooze of melted cherries placed in an eloquent porcelain vanity paradoxically urges the viewer to look closer, perhaps even smell the delectables in front of them, despite the provocative and vile resemblance to menstruation blood.

Thinking Out Loud About Art & Politics
In our Denver creative community, what can WE do as artists? Unlike professionals in law or social work, our role doesn’t feel as obvious or cut and dry. How do we contribute with our craft and our passions? Should we have a political artistic agenda?

Introducing Along the Line
Welcome! RedLine Contemporary Art Center is happy to introduce Along the Line, our new blog. Since the moment we first started talking about launching a blog, we have thought of it as a “portrait” of the eclectic, dynamic, creative, and diverse RedLine community.
Here you’ll find art criticism, reviews, interviews and studio visits, inspiration, influences, essays and reflections, creative work processes, and of course, a lot of art. Along the Line will be a virtual space in which conversations about art in relation to social responsibility, collective leadership, cultural responsiveness, and community engagement will flourish. In this curated but open space, we hope to have some fun, engage with local issues, reflect on the world beyond our doors, and document the work being done here at RedLine.
Along the Line is the result of the collective efforts by a group of dedicated artists, volunteers, and community advocates. We strive for content that inspires. Each of our brilliant contributors will bring their own perspectives, insights, and imaginations.
Thank you so much for reading and we look forward to engaging.
