ArtCorps Mentoring

RedLine Contemporary Art Center, Denver, CO

ArtCorps Mentoring is a program that supports the arts at under-resourced schools in RedLine’s community of Five Points. Using a one-on-one mentoring model, this program provides a safe environment for students to explore artistic expression while creating connections with a trusted adult figure. Selected students have the opportunity to work with a professional artist to create a year-long art project that investigates social justice issues. This program fosters creative thinking and empowers students to discover practical ways to approach sometimes difficult issues with the inquiring mind of an artist. By developing skills of inquiry and imagination, students find new in-roads to core subjects and are better prepared for lifelong learning.
