Opening reception: Friday, August 15, 6-8pm
Exhibition summit: August 16-17, 2025

Join us at RedLine for High Walls: Artists Navigate Structures of Confinement, an exhibition and summit kicking off August 15-17, 2025. On August 16 and August 17, the High Walls summit includes hands-on workshops, an exhibiting artist panel, live performances, readings, and more.

High Walls emerges from a national conversation around mass incarceration and the US criminal-legal system, with the intent of bringing this critical and long-overdue conversation to Colorado.

In collaboration with Unchained Voices, High Walls exhibition and summit will present work by artists engaging with or responding to the built environment, systems of surveillance, and the power of imagined space in relationship to the carceral system.

The exhibition and summit will highlight the work of several artists who are currently or were formerly incarcerated in the Colorado Department of Corrections. Their artwork will be presented in conversation with projects by notable contemporary artists from outside Colorado.
