RedLine Wins NEWSED Civil Rights Award

We’re honored to announce that RedLine has been recognized for the NEWSED Civil Rights Award!

NEWSED is a Community Development Corporation that has served the Denver Community since 1973. The organization works to advance the economic success of underserved populations in the seven-county Denver metro area through affordable housing, small businesses, and asset creation.

NEWSED’s main programming includes securing and coordinating resources for neighborhood revitalization, developing needed shopping areas and services, fostering minority and neighborhood business ownership, job retention and creation, increasing home ownership and affordable rental opportunities, and hosting cultural events and activities that showcase the neighborhood’s predominately Chicano/Mexicano population.

RedLine’s Roots Radical Exhibition Program

Every year, RedLine hosts exhibitions within a social justice-focused Exhibition Program. Our 2022-2023 Exhibition Program is titled Roots Radical: An Exploration into Indigenous Ancestry and Experience.

Roots Radical supports Native-led organizations and artists, and the deeper exploration of our communities’ collective ancestry and Indigenous histories.

This includes many Colorado artists and organizations who share Chicanx and Latine ancestry—from featuring Lucha Martínez de Luna of the Chicano/a Murals of Colorado Project of Colorado as our Roots Radical 48 Hours Summit keynote speaker to supporting Resident Alumni Anthony García Sr.’s curatorial vision in our current exhibition Making Our Mark: An Exploration of Vandal Futurism and more.

Other honorees for this year’s award include Chicano Humanities and Arts Council (CHAC), Museo de las Americas, Carlos Sandoval (a rural Colorado artist), and Stevon Lucero (posthumously - a Denver-based artist).
We look forward to standing alongside our community partners and neighbors in receiving this gracious recognition on Thursday, October 19, 5:30 – 8:30PM at ReelWorks!
