DENVER — RedLine Gallery and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) are partnering up to expand the public’s understanding of under-supported lifeline workers and raise awareness of community values.
Why It Matters: Lifeline workers are often overlooked in a crisis situation and specifically the Covid-19 Pandemic we are currently still very much in. Lifelines are the most fundamental services in the community that, when stabilized, enable all other aspects of society to function.
Need-to-know Details: There will be an informational session on July 8th and the application deadline is July 21st. Artists may focus on how resilience and community look along several critical lifelines including Safety and Security, Food, Water and Shelter, Health and Medical, Energy (Power and Fuel), Communications, Transportation, Hazardous Materials.
Medium: Artists can work in a variety of media, including stories, images, video, or site-specific.
Eligibility: The project should respond to the many ways a community bands together for resilience and strength in the face of a natural disaster. In these times of disaster, how do we find strength in each other and how do we contribute to our local communities?
