Opening Reception: Annual Youth Art Mentoring Exhibition

Annual Youth Art Mentoring Exhibition
opening reception: May 17, 5-8 pm
on view: May 17–June 16, 2024.

RedLine’s Youth Art Mentoring and EPIC Arts programs encourage young artists in Denver schools to use art as their voice to speak about issues affecting their communities and their lives.

In this exhibition, you’ll find diverse mediums that inspire the viewer to learn more about social issues, interact with the pieces, and think critically about our experiences from a different perspective. Youth were encouraged to be agents of change in their communities. The exhibition shows what they have to say!
