CAST Colorado
CAST Colorado provides affordable artist studios and creative workspace at RiNo ArtPark as part of its mission to help artists and cultural workers remain rooted in the communities where they create.
An expansion of San Francisco-based Community Arts Stabilization Trust (CAST), CAST Colorado works to preserve and expand access to affordable cultural space across Denver, with a focus on supporting historically underrepresented and under-resourced communities. The organization evolved from RedLine Contemporary Art Center’s Satellite Studio Program, which helped connect local artists with accessible studio space throughout the city.
Today, CAST Colorado continues that work at RiNo ArtPark by supporting artists with affordable studios and creative infrastructure designed to help Denver’s creative community thrive.
Studio artists include: Shieka Leslie-Eke, Caitlyn Dolphin, Jeff Russell & Joe Scott, Shaunie Berry, Zachary Davidson, Kenzie Sitterud & Aaron Middleton.

In collaboration with Redline’s satellite studios, Alto’s location offers more than just the typical art gallery experience. A vibrant and diverse studio community, innovative and educational program partners, and beautiful and ample public outdoor spaces makes the Alto location a destination worth visiting again and again.
