Redline Milwaukee

Mission
RedLine Milwaukee, a 501(c)(3), is an urban laboratory that seeks to nourish the individual practice of contemporary art and to stimulate the creative potential of the local community to which we are linked. Through residency, education, outreach, and challenging exhibition programs with a focus on socially relevant topics, RedLine inspires and impacts new generations of cultural and civic transformers.

What is RedLine?
RedLine Milwaukee was founded by local artists Lori Bauman and Steve Vande Zande in October, 2009. Goals of professional development, access, and social justice are met through RedLine’s Programs: Residency, Exhibition and Education. The three-story, 22,000-square-foot building includes exhibition space, artist studios, a community print shop and papermaking studio, a computer lab, and classrooms. Milwaukee’s only artist-in-residence program, RedLine houses ten emerging artists, five mentoring artists, a resource artist, six teen residents and several visiting artists annually. Additionally, RedLine connects artists with community organizations through workshops, classes, and outreach.
